Adaptive and Innate Immune Responsiveness to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Exposed Asymptomatic Children and Children with Previous Clinical Lyme Borreliosis

Figure 4

The spontaneous secretion of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF in PBMC supernatants from Borrelia exposed asymptomatic children (filled circle), children with previous clinical LB (open square), and controls (filled triangle) as measured by Luminex. The median values are noted as lines in the figure. There was a tendency to higher IL-6 in children with previous clinical LB compared to Borrelia exposed asymptomatic children, otherwise no statistically significant differences were found between groups.
