IL-32γ mRNA is detected in lesions of patients with cutaneous (CL) and mucosal (ML) leishmaniasis. Total mRNA was extracted from fragments of healthy tissues (C, skin n = 8; mucosa n = 7), cutaneous lesions (CL, n = 10) or mucosal lesions (ML, n = 7), and analysed by qPCR. Expression of isoforms α, β, γ and δ of IL-32 were analysed but only γIL-32 mRNA was detected. ND = Not detected. Results shown are individual values and medians. *p < 005.
