Effect of hydatid cyst PSCs on the levels of cytokines in the lung tissue homogenates. Levels of these cytokines were quantified by specific ELISA assay kits. Cytokine responses (a IL-4, b IL-5, c IL-17, d IFN-γ, e IL-10) were measured in mice given OVA/alum in the presence or absence of PSCs. Error bars indicate standard deviation (SD). P < 0.05; one-way ANOVA. ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
