Figure 2From: Proteins of Leishmania (Viannia) shawi confer protection associated with Th1 immune response and memory generationLesion development, parasitism and histopathology of F1, F1-4 m and Infected groups. A--The course of lesions was accompanied during 8 weeks in all groups. B--Parasitism in skin and lymph nodes of F1, F1- 4 m and Infected groups. C, D, E--Histopathology of skin from F1, F1-4 m and Infected groups, respectively. Arrows show amastigote inner mononuclear cells. Coloration in HE at 400× magnification. Bars represent 5 μm. * and ** p < 0.05 indicate that lesion size of F1 and F1-4 m groups significantly differ from infected mice. †and ††p < 0.05 indicate that parasite burden in the skin and lymph nodes of F1 and F1-4 m group significantly differ from infected mice.Back to article page
