Fig 1. Specific CD8⁺ T cell-mediated immune response in L. braziliensis-infected BALB/c mice.

Target cells were pulsed with L. braziliensis peptides (A) AYLASCDFI, WYLATHSLI, AYIDGHVTI and SYMGYFQNI and (B) GYVGIVVAL, KYQHSTEML, IYVSYADLY and VYLSFGFRL. Target cells were then transferred to L. braziliensis infected mice. In vivo cytoxoxicity was analyzed in spleen (white squares) and in draining lymph nodes (red squares) of recipient mice, by flow cytometry, as described in Materials and Methods. Data are shown individually.
