a

Lymphocytes were isolated from spleens of naïve DO11.10 Tg mice.

a

Cultured supernatants from cells stimulated in vitro with designated concentrations of Ags were analyzed by cytokine ELISA.

b, c

cells were cultured with or without Ag for 24 or 72 hours.

d-g

Cytokine concentration was measured in triplicates and is depicted as an average ± SEM. Presented cytokine concentration is corrected over the cytokine production by unstimulated cells.

Statistical significance was calculated by Student’s t test;
