Characterization of the adaptive immune response in LST+ individuals. Secreted cytokines, (a) IFN-γ, (b) IL-2, (c) IL-18, (d) IL-12p70, and (e) IL-13 measured by Luminex assays following Leishmania parasite stimulation of PBMCs from donors subdivided into 3 clinical groups, according to the Leishmanin skin test response (LST+/−) and presence or absence of specific scars (SCAR+/−). (***) denotes p < 0.001 as determined by Wilcoxon paired T test, samples with no measurable value were given a value that was half of the lowest detectable dose of the assays)
