Cytokine responses to Schistosoma haematobium in a Zimbabwean population: contrasting profiles for IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10 with age

Table 2 Output of from the multi-variate analysis of variance conducted on all study participants

The analysis determining if cytokine levels varied with host age thus testing whether the patterns represented in Figure 2 are significant. The statistical procedure allowed for the effects of sex and infection intensity on net cytokine level before testing if age had a significant effect on net cytokine level. F-value represents the F-test statistic from the MANOVA, df = degrees of freedom. Significant p-values are in bold.
