Figure 5. Th1 and Th2 cytokine levels in mice infected with BC7.
Mice infected with BC7/PBS or BC7/alginate were sacrificed at specified times and levels of IFN-γ (A), IL-4 (B), and IL-10 (C) in lung homogenates were measured by Bio-Plex multiple immunassay. D, ratio of IFN-γ to IL-4. Data represents mean and SEM calculated from three independent experiments with a total of 6 - 7 mice per group (*different from BC7/PBS group at respective time points, p≤ANOVA).
