Fig 6. Proliferation and cytokine production of spleen cells.
Single-cell suspensions were prepared from the spleens of individual mice immunized with PBS, TgPrx1-GST, or GST and cultured for 48 h in the presence of Con A, TLA, TgPrx1-GST, GST, or without any stimulator (Medium). (A) Cell proliferation was measured at 48 h. (B) The culture supernatants were assayed for IFN-γ, and IL-4 production with ELISAs. Each bar represents the mean ± standard deviation (PBS; n = 3, TgPrx1 and GST; n = 4). *, statistically significant differences were observed between TgPrx1-GST-immunized group and other groups in same stimulator with two-way ANOVA and Tukey–Kramer post hoc analysis, P < 0.05. #, statistically significant differences were against medium well in same immunized group with two-way ANOVA and Tukey–Kramer post hoc analysis, P < 0.05.
