Values represent the average numbers of NP-specific T cells producing the indicated cytokine (per million white blood cells) as detected by ELISPOT for three mice per group. Pre is prechallenge data, and Post 1 and Post 2 are postchallenge data for two subsets of a group of mice that were immunized at the same time but challenged at different times. Postchallenge, the total number of cells recovered from the lungs increased approximately fourfold, whereas no increase in the total number of recovered cells occurred for spleens.
<, below detection threshold.
ND, not done.
