Phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT6 by ROP16 protein. PBMCs were infected with T. gondii RH or RHΔrop16 strains for 24 h. STAT phosphorylation was evaluated by Western blot of PBMCs lysates from OT and Asym individuals. The western blot results were quantified by densitometry and Mann-Whitney U test was performed with no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) between the stimulus in either of the clinical cases evaluated (TO and Asym). Histogram represent mean of relative levels of protein ± SEM of three independent experiments. One representative western blot result for OT and Asym group is shown. C(-), Uninfected PBMCs were used as a negative control; OT, Ocular toxoplasmosis; Asym, Chronic asymptomatic infection.
