Diabetic patients with acute melioidosis show a reduced T cell responses to heat shock proteins GroEL and GroEL2 compared to non-diabetic melioidosis patients. IFNγ ELISpot assays for HIA-Bp and one of 15 Bp antigens were performed on cryopreserved PBMC samples from 20 diabetic seronegative controls (black diamonds), 18 non-diabetic seronegative controls (open diamonds), 20 diabetic acute melioidosis patients (black triangles) and 22 non-diabetic acute melioidosis patients (open triangles). Data shown for each antigen is the number of spot forming cells (SFC) per 10⁶ PBMC following subtraction of the number of SFC from culture with media alone. Error bars represent mean + SEM and statistical significance between groups was determined using the Mann Whitney test.
