Secretion of IL-4 (in pg/ml) by lymph node T cells. Untreated or IL-10–treated DCs from wild-type mice were pulsed in vitro with KLH (50 μg/ml) and injected into the fore and hind footpads of control or μMT mice. 6 d later, lymph node cells were harvested and cultured with 5 μg/ml KLH and the Il-4 content was assessed by ELISA. Exp. indicates the experiment number; the indented numbers refer to individual mice. Limit for detection is 31.25 pg/ml.
