Figure 3. Specific T cell responses to B. pseudomallei of recovered melioidosis cases vs. seropositive control subjects.

Figure 3

(A) Specific (CsA sensitive) IFN-γ secreting spots in response to medium alone, whole B. pseudomallei and Bp-derived ABC transporter proteins, LolC, OppA and PotF were analyzed from 36 recovered melioidosis cases (R) and 21 seropositive control subjects (S+). (B) Of these 36 recovered melioidosis cases, only 24 cases were analyzed according to the previous history of localized melioidosis (LR, n = 13) and septicemic melioidosis (SR, n = 11) and (C) the time of sample collection (weeks) after completion of antibiotic treatments of recovered melioidosis cases. Horizontal lines represent mean±SE value of each group. Medium alone of recovered melioidosis and seropositive control groups was less than 5 IFN-γ SFC/106 PBMCs.
