Figure 10. Mediastinal lymph node cell stimulation with OVA.

Figure 10

WBCs harvested from mediastinal lymph nodes were stimulated as described previously described but ova albumin was used instead of heat killed chlamydial organisms. Stimulation revealed that cells from groups 1 and 2 that were sensitized and challenged with ova secreted predominantly Th2 (IL-5, 4, 10, and 13) cytokines in response to ova antigen compared to unsensitized/challenged control groups (C-F). Th1 cytokines (IFN-g, IL-2) were produced in negligible amounts in response to ova stimulation (A, B).
