Systemic and mucosal cellular IFN-γ response to OprF following intramuscular immunization. AdC7OprF, AdOprF, Ad5Null or AdC7Null were administered intramuscularly at a dose of 1010 pu/mouse. Seven days following administration, CD3+ T cells were isolated from spleens and lungs and incubated in vitro with splenic or lung DC alone or pulsed with recombinant OprF and OprF-specific IFN-γ responses were determined in an ELISPOT assay. A. INF-γ in lung CD3+ T cells stimulated with pulsed syngenic pulmonary DC. B. INF-γ in lung CD3+ T cells stimulated with pulsed syngenic splenic DC. C. INF-γ in splenic CD3 T cells stimulated with pulsed syngenic splenic DC. The data represent the mean of pooled cells from five mice per group (n =5). Values are presented after subtraction of background IFN-γ secretion by corresponding CD3+ T cells induced by DC alone. *, ** and *** denote significance of p<0.05, p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively
