Fig. 2 Filarial-specific IgG subclasses in sera from different groups. Bars represent geometric mean; absorbance values of endemic normals (En), □; microfilaraemics (Mf), clinical cases (Cl), ▪. The statistical significance was calculated by Kruskal–Wallis test.

Fig. 3 (a) IFN-γ (b) IL-10 and (c) IL-4 levels in the culture supernatants of rBm-SL3-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from microfilaraemics (Mf), clinical filarial cases (Cl) and endemic normal (En) individuals. Bars represent the geometric mean levels in each case. The statistical significance was calculated by Kruskal–Wallis test.
