Direct ex vivo IL-4 ELISPOT for anti-Schistosoma antibodies (+) and anti-Schistosoma antibodies (−) blood units: IL-4 ELISPOT assay was done as described in methods. Eighteen pools were tested corresponding to 180 overlapping core peptides. Data are presented as the average numbers of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-core specific direct ex vivo ISC/106 cells in anti-Schistosoma antibodies positive (33) or anti-Schistosoma antibodies negative blood units (44) after subtracting background. The interferon secreting cells (ISCs) values are based on the combined data from all 18 pools of peptides. See legend for Figure 1 for how data is shown.
