Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto and S. brasiliensis are differentially recognized by human PBMCs. Human PBMCs were co-incubated 24 h with live conidia, yeast-like cells or germlings from either S. schenckii sensu stricto (s. str.) or S. brasiliensis, the supernatant collected and used to quantify the cytokine levels. ∗P < 0.05, when compared with the cytokine level stimulated by S. schenckii sensu stricto; †P < 0.05, when compared with other S. schenckii sensu stricto morphologies; ‡P < 0.05, when compared with S. brasiliensis germlings; ∗∗P < 0.05, when compared against other S. brasiliensis morphologies. Mock interactions of human PBMCs with culture medium were included as a control condition (control).
