Figure 3.
Antibody responses in non-immunised offspring at 6 weeks. The figure shows the antibody responses in offspring before the start of immunisation. During pregnancy their mothers' immune response had been polarised towards either a Th1 response ((OVA) + CpG) or a Th2 response (OVA + Al(OH)3 or OVA + PT). The antibody concentration for IgG1 (A) and IgG2a (B) are provided in arbitrary units (AU/ml) and the median values are indicated by a line. Forty offspring per group of mother were included; the circles represent the average value of 4 offspring from the same mother, * denotes a statistically significant difference compared to the OVA group, p < 0.05.
