IgG antibodies in mucosal leishmaniasis

Figure 1. ML and CL patients produce IgG antibodies against Leishmania braziliensisantigens. Anti-SLA total IgG (A), IgG1 (B) and IgG2 (C) titers from ML and CL patients, performed by ELISA technique. Statistical analysis was performed by the Mann-Whitney U test.Results are expressed in optical density (OD).Figure 2. ML patients with severe disease present increased Total IgG and IgG1 antibodies titers. Anti-SLA total IgG (A), IgG1 (B) and IgG2 (C) titers from ML patients in different stage of the disease, performed by ELISA technique. Statistical analysis was performed by the Kruskal-Wallis test.Results are expressed in optical density (OD).Figure 3. IgG and IgG subclasses titers before and after treatment of ML patients. Anti-SLA total IgG (A), IgG1 (B) and IgG2 (C) titers from ML and CL patients, performed by ELISA technique. Statistical analysis was performed by the Mann-Whitney U test.Results are expressed in optical density (OD).
