Figure 8. Protein malnutrition dysregulated secreted cytokine levels in the interstitial fluid of thymus and spleen of mice infected with L. infantum.

Figure 8

IL-10 and IL-12 protein levels were measured by Luminex in the interstitial fluid of (A) thymus and (B) spleen. The values are expressed in pg/mL ± SEM. CP: animals fed 14% protein diet; LP: animals fed 4% protein diet, CPi: animals fed 14% protein diet and infected; LPi: animals fed 4% protein diet and infected. Two-way ANOVA analysis with Bonferroni pos-hoc test. Statistical differences due to diet: a (p<0.001).
