2 Figure 1 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).
