*Numbers are mean SFU/106 PBMC minus the mean of the appropriate unstimulated control; those adjusted SFU means that were greater than the unstimulated control SFU mean plus 5 times the SE (standard error) were scored as positive and marked with a + in the table (for gilt 1 at 44 dpi those test SFU means >7 were positive; for gilt 2, >9; for gilt 3, >45 and so on). SFU means with >262+ indicate that the SFU was higher than the upper count limit for ELISpot reader.
