Figure 1. PTB is associated with decreased spontaneous production of Type 1, 2, 17 and immunoregulatory cytokines.

Figure 1

Whole blood from PTB, TBL and LTB individuals was stimulated with media alone for 72 h, and levels of (A) Type 1 cytokines IFNγ, TNFα and IL-2; (B) Type 2 cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13; (C) Type 17 cytokines IL-17A, IL-17F and IL-22 and (D) Immunoregulatory cytokines IL-10 and TGFβ were measured by ELISA. Results are shown as scatterplots with each dot representing a single individuals. P values were calculated using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's multiple comparisons (* p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001).
