Fig 4. Induction of T cell proliferation.

Fig 4

PBMCs from 10 individual patients were stimulated with 62 pmol (a) of nAmb a 1, nArt v 6, Amb a 1α, Art v 6α and hybrid (A). Antigen-specific T-cell lines (TCLs) were established from PBMCs by using nArt v 6 or nAmb a 1 as the initial stimulus. nAmb a 1- (B) and nArt v 6-(C)- specific TCL proliferative responses to nAmb a 1, nArt v 6, Amb a 1α, Art v 6α or hybrid were assessed. Results were expressed as stimulation indices (SI). Horizontal bars indicate median values. SI>2 was considered positive. Statistical analysis by ANOVA and Bonferroni post test.
