Figure 2

Cytokine expression relative to the endogenous housekeeping gene β-actin in RNA from lymph node aspirates and skin biopsies from VL and PKDL patients. (A) and (B) show IFNG and IFNGR1 expression, respectively, in paired lymph node aspirates taken pre- and post-treatment from 24 VL cases. P values for comparison of pre- and post-treatment samples are based on nonparametric Wilcoxon matched pairs signed-rank test. (C) shows IFNG and IFNGR1 expression in skin biopsies from 19 PKDL patients. Levels of the two cytokines relative to β-actin in commercially acquired normal skin (IFNG-NS and IFNGR1-NS) are shown by the horizontal bars.
