FIG 2.

Cytokine and chemokine protein measurement in PBMCs of CL patients before and after treatment. Secreted protein levels were measured from culture supernatants of PBMCs from CL patients (n = 16) collected before and at the end of treatment. Unstimulated PBMCs and cells restimulated with L. (V.) panamensis promastigotes (+L.p.) were analyzed. Median fluorescence intensity is shown, with data expressed in pg/ml. P values were calculated using either a Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test or a paired t test, depending on the distribution of the data.
