FIG. 2.

Cytokine production by CMC patients in response to Candida antigens, non-Candida antigens, and mitogen. Whole-blood cultures from CMC patients and controls were stimulated with different C. albicans fractions or non-Candida antigens for 48 h. Supernatants were collected, and cytokine levels were assessed by performing ELISAs. The median level for each cytokine produced by CMC patients was expressed as a percentage of the median control group level (the median control group levels were assigned a value of 100%). Note that various stimuli induced different cytokines.
