Comparison of TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ and IL-10 levels in plasma and spleen and brain homogenates between male (open blocks) and female (shaded blocks) OF1 mice killed 6 days after inoculation with 2 × 106 C. neoformans/mouse. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 5 in each group). ≥P = 0.009; †P<0.03 (Mann-Whitney).

Comparison of fungal burden in blood, spleen and brain (a) and TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ and IL-10 levels in plasma (b) and spleen homogenates (c) between young (open blocks) and old (shaded blocks) CD1 male mice killed 8 days after inoculation with 2 × 106 C. neoformans/mouse. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 7 in each group). ≥P<0.02; †P<0.05 (Mann-Whitney).
