Figure 5. Proliferation of PBMCs introduced with 1 µg/ml of Blasto-Ag according to study duration.

PHA, mitogen (20 µg/ml) was used as positive control. Values are given in mean ± SD. Values are normalized against sample blank where Blasto-Ag was substituted with sterile Jones medium (without any supplements). ^*P<0.05 is the comparison done against Normal group by Student's t-test. ^aP<0.05 and ^bP<0.05 is the comparison done against Stressed and Blasto group respectively using One-way ANOVA analysis.
