Scattergram of cytokine at day 6 and 11 for control group and at day 11 post-infection for all treatment groups. Horizontal lines indicate mean values of (A) IL-1b, (B) IL-2, (C) IL-4, (D) IL-5, (E) IL-6, (F) IL-9, (G) IL-12, (H) IL-17. Key: C-6D, control group at day six post-infection, C-11D, control group at day 11 post-infection, AMB-MET, and AMB-MET-AHCC, treatment with AMB encapsulated within GCPQ nanoparticles alone or in combination with AHCC® respectively, LAMB and LAMB-AHCC, treatment with iv liposomal AMB alone or in combination with AHCC® respectively. The most relevant changes in the cytokine patterns have been highlighted within a red circle. a
