FIG 3.

Cytokine profile from naive mice. Cells from naive mice were stimulated for 24 h (peritoneal macrophages) (A) or for 48 h and 5 days (splenocytes) (B) with heat-killed (HK) or live C. glabrata (Cg), heat-killed C. albicans yeast (Cay) or hyphae (Cah), and live C. albicans (Ca). Levels of TNF-α, IL-6, KC, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-10, IFN-γ, and IL-17 accumulation were measured by ELISA. Results are means ± SEM (n = 8 mice per group). Significance was determined with the Mann-Whitney U test. Statistically different groups are indicated as follows: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01.
