Figure 5. The immune function of γδ T cells from human subjects inoculated with BCG induced by peptide BP3.

Figure 5

(A) The Th1 and Th2 cytokine production of γδ T cells induced by peptide BP3. After sorting the γδ T cells from human subjects inoculated induced by BP3, the Th1 (IFN-γ and TNF-α) and Th2 (IL-4 and IL-10) type cytokine production was detected by ELISA kit. Data are shown as the mean of pg/ml±S.D. of three independent experiments. The single asterisk denote significant difference (p<0.05). The double asterisks denote significant difference (p<0.01) (B) The cytotoxicity of γδ T cells induced by peptide BP3 to THP-1 infected with BCG. After sorting and culturing the γδ T cells from human subjects inoculated by BP3, MTT test was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity activities of γδ T cells to THP-1 cells infected with BCG in vitro. Data are shown as the mean of three independent experiments.
