Fig. 4From: Multiplex cytokine and antibody profile in cystic echinococcosis patients during a three-year follow-up in reference to the cyst stagesIgG and IgG subclasses (IgG4 and IgG1) response to different cyst types. The serum antibody production of total IgG, isotypes IgG4 and IgG1 against HCF in patients with cyst type CE1-CE5 were performed by ELISA. Bars represent the mean values ± standard error (SE). Statistical analysis was performed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni correction test vs normal control (NOR) [IgG: F(4, 8) = 8.638, P =  0.0053; IgG4: F(4, 8) = 4.203, P = 0.0401; IgG1: F(4, 8) = 7.54, P = 0.008]. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01Back to article page
