a

Mice were orally immunized ≥15 weeks earlier with Salmonella, and cytokine production was assessed after restimulation with Salmonella lysate. The absolute numbers of cytokine-producing T cells in the indicated organs are shown and are expressed as mean values ± standard deviations.

b

n = 7.

c

Cells were pooled from five mice. Values represent an estimate of the total number of cytokine-producing T cells per mouse.

d

Cells were pooled from four mice. Values represent an estimate of the total number of cytokine-producing T cells per mouse.

e

Cells were pooled from six mice into three groups. Values represent an estimate of the total number of cytokine-producing T cells per mouse.
