Figure 2

Heparinized whole blood samples were diluted with medium 10 fold and stimulated with either the major secreted Ag85 protein (Panel A.) or Mtb culture filtrate (CF, complex lysate of all Mtb antigens secreted by exponentially growing organisms, Panel B.), and tritiated thymidine incorporation measured on day 7. Median values for each group (N=20) are shown for each time point. *p<0.05, **p<0.01 by Wilcoxon matched pairs testing compared with pre-vaccination responses.
