Data are presented as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA with LSD post-hoc test was used to compare the results between the CONTROL, COLITIS and COLITIS+curSmSWP groups or between CONTROL, COLITIS and COLITIS+prevSmSWP groups.

^#: P≤0.05, significantly different from CONTROL group;

*: P≤0.05, significant difference between COLITIS and COLITIS+prevSmSWP groups. N = 9–12 per animal group. Abbreviations: CBA: cytometric bead array; cur: curative; IFN-γ: interferon-γ; IL: interleukin; prev: preventive; SmSWP: Schistosoma mansoni soluble worm proteins; TNF: tumor necrosis factor.
