Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Development Is Aggravated by Candida albicans Infection

Figure 2

Kinetics of cytokine production by spleen cells from mice infected with C. albicans. C57BL/6 mice were inoculated with C. albicans and the spontaneous production of cytokines by spleen cells was evaluated 3, 7, 14, 21, and 30 days after fungal inoculation. The results are expressed as median, 25–75% (box), and minimum-maximum (error bars) of 5-6 mice/group. Mann-Whitney test, and indicate statistical difference between each experimental time point and the control group (uninfected).
