Quantification of cytokines in the lung (A and B) and spleen (C and D) of mice inoculated (i.p) with PBS, or yMA, or yMAgp43, and infected (i.v.) with 1x10⁶ yeasts <i>P</i>. <i>brasiliensis</i>.

<p>Bars represent levels of IL-12p40 (A and C) and IFN-γ (B and D) detected in the organs of mice from different experimental groups at 30 days post-infection. All immunized mice (Vaccine group) showed higher levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ, in both organs, when compared to controls (PBS). Data are representative of a typical experiment independently repeated three times, where: * P<0.05, and **P<0.01 in relation to the PBS Group.
