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

Figure 2

Expression of genes for cytokines and chemokines in PBMC stimulated with rMBP::SSP4. The cells were stimulated with recombinant protein for 12–96 h. The intensities of each band were quantified and plotted from the gels that are on top of each graph corresponding to the expression of genes for cytokines and chemokines. GAPDH was used as control housekeeping gene. *,**,*** , 0.001, and 0.0001, respectively, versus unstimulated cells.
