IFN-γ (a), GrB (b) and IL-10 (c) were quantified by ELISA in the culture supernatants of PBMCs from donors residing in areas endemic for L. major infection. The donors were subdivided based on LST reactivity (LST+ and LST- groups). The box represents the 25th and 75th percentiles. The median is represented by a solid horizontal line. The whiskers of the box show the 1st percentile to the 99th percentile. Statistically significant differences between the median of stimulated and non-stimulated cultures were assessed by the non-parametric median test. Results of the median test are shown. Statistical significance was assigned to a value of p<0,05.
