BL-OVA, BL loaded with OVA; LBP-OVP, OVA mixed with LBP; LBPL-OVA, liposome loaded with OVA and LBP. Bars with different superscripts (a–d) are significantly different (p<0.05).

Abbreviations: BC, blank control; BL, blank liposome; CFA, Complete Freund’s Adjuvant; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; IFN-γ, interferon gamma; IL, interleukin; LBP, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide; LBPL, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide liposome; OVA, ovalbumin; SEM, standard error of the mean; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor alpha.
