From: Altered cellular infiltration and cytokine levels during early Mycobacterium tuberculosis sigC mutant infection are associated with late-stage disease attenuation and milder immunopathology in mice

Figure 3

Cytokine profile detected in the lung tissue homogenates of DBA/2 mice infected separately with the three different M. tb strains. ELISA based cytokine assays were applied to determine the presence of cytokines. Supernatants were collected from lung homogenates of DBA/2 mice which were infected with ΔsigC mutant strain (◇), the complemented ΔsigC mutant (△) and the wild type strain, CDC1551 (□). Each time point represents data from 5 mice and each was performed in triplicate. (* = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01).
