Immunization | Plate | IgG1 | IgE |
---|---|---|---|
Vehicle | Aspergillus | 0.363 ± 0.002 | 0.428 ± 0.023 |
BSA | 0.054 ± 0.001 | 0.109 ± 0.006 | |
IL-9-OVA | Aspergillus | 0.227 ± 0.055 | 0.363 ± 0.083 |
BSA | 0.046 ± 0.003 | 0.117 ± 0.028 |
Anti-Aspergillus IgG1 and IgE were detected in sera from control or from IL-9-OVA-immunized BALB/c mice injected with A. fumigatus extracts (four mice per group). The values correspond to absorbance units at 405 nm measured at nonsaturating serum dilutions (1/2,500 for IgG1 and 1/20 for IgE) on plates coated with Aspergillus antigen or BSA as a control. Mean ± SEM are indicated.
