Figure 2

Mtb PPD-specific cytokine expression in CD4 T-cells, CD8 T-cells and NK cells 12 months post BCG vaccination of UK adolescents. Box plots representing the proportion of A) CD4 T-cells, B) CD8 T-cells and C) NK cells that express the indicated cytokine (see x-axis labels) are shown as determined by intracellular cytokine staining of Mtb PPD-stimulated PBMC. D) CD4 T-cell cytokine expression in response to the positive control stimulant SEB. Cells were isolated from blood samples from individuals (n = 12) 12 months following BCG vaccination. The horizontal line represents the median response, the box represents the interquartile range and the whiskers represent the overall range.
