Fig 1. Effects of different concentrations (20, 100 and 200 μg/mL) of ovalbumin (O), lysozyme (L), ovomucoid (M), and their hydrolysates with pepsin (P), Neutrase (N) and alcalase (A), as well as the inactivated enzymes (IE) at a concentration equivalent to that present in 200 μg/mL of the hydrolysates, on the secretion of IL-13 (a), IL-5 (b), IFN-γ (c) and IL-10 (d) by Th2-skewed human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Data are expressed as percentage of the values induced by anti-CD40 and IL-4 ± standard error of the mean in 6 donors stimulated in triplicate and * indicates significant differences (P< 0.05).
