Figure 1

Enhanced adaptive immunity to 9 Burkholderia pseudomallei antigens during acute melioidosis in survivors compared to fatal cases. IFNγ ELISpot assays for HIA-Bp or one of 15 Bp antigens were performed on cryopreserved PBMC samples from 18 seronegative controls (black squares), 30 acute melioidosis survivors (black triangles) and 12 fatal cases (black circles). Data shown for each antigen is the number of spot forming cells (SFC) per 106 PBMC following subtraction of the number of SFC from culture with media alone. Error bars represent mean + SEM and statistical significance between groups was determined using the Mann Whitney test.
