Type 2 CD4+ T cell responses to worm antigens, independent of schistosome eggs. The in vitro interleukin (IL)–4 recall responses of splenic (A) and hepatic (B) CD4+ T cells isolated from mice infected with 100 female, male, or mixed-sex cercariae 4 weeks previously were determined as outlined in Figure 1. Isolated CD4+ T cells were cocultured with dendritic cells in the presence or absence of soluble worm antigen preparation (SWAP). Five mice were included in each group. Data are representative of 2 independent experiments. The significance of all differences was tested using Kruskal-Wallis tests, followed by Dunn's multiple comparison posttests. Ag, antigen; conc., concentration.
