Figure 7. Memory cell-mediated immune response was induced in piglets immunized with the PTSL vaccine.

Figure 7

PBMCs were collected from three protected piglets from each group on the 18th dpc (n = 3). Spleen and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) were collected from the two surviving piglets of the unvaccinated control group, two randomly selected piglets of the PO group, and the two protected piglets of the IM group (n = 2), and processed at necropsy on the 33th dpc. IL-2, IFN-γ or TNF-α positive T cells (CD3+) in PBMCs (A) were measured by flow cytometry after stimulation with inactivated S. Choleraesuis antigen and staining with labelled anti-pig antibodies. IFN-γ positive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in spleen and MLN (B) were also measured.
