Culicoides sonorensis salivary gland extract inhibits the Con A–driven mitogenic response of murine splenic T cells. C57BL/6 spleen cells were pre-incubated with 2 μg of C. sonorensis salivary gland extract for 2 hours and were stimulated with the indicated concentrations of Con A for 18 hours. The degree of proliferation by the splenocytes was assessed by scintillation counting. Salivary gland extract significantly inhibited proliferation; P values are indicated in the figure. The figure is representative of four independent experiments.
