Trypanosoma cruzi SSP4 Amastigote Protein Induces Expression of Immunoregulatory and Immunosuppressive Molecules in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Figure 1

rMBP::SSP4 induces NO synthesis in PBMC. PBMC were stimulated at 48 h with different stimuli. Cells cultured with medium alone were used as controls. Supernatants of cultured cells were harvested, and nitrite concentration was assayed. Data are expressed as means ± SD and are representative of three independent experiments. *** compared with non-stimulated cells and controls. NS: non-stimulated.
