Figure 2

Relative portion and IFN-γ production by CD4+ T cells from MAP-unexposed and MAP-infected cows after in vitro stimulation with mycobacterial antigens. Data are median (± max / min) of the values with duplicates from MAP-unexposed (n = 5) [white bars] and MAP-infected (n = 7) animals [grey bars], normalised to values obtained after stimulation with a respective (i.e., PPD and WCS, respectively) M. phlei preparation. Asterisks above each condition indicate significant differences between MAP-unexposed and MAP-infected cows [Student’s t-test; p ≤ 0.001 (***), p ≤ 0.01 (**), or p ≤ 0.05 (*)]. MFI: Mean fluorescence intensity.
