Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) secretion by peripheral blood lymphocytes in the ELISPOT assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). (A) Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs, 5 × 105 cells/well) from transgenic and wild-type pigs were stimulated with CD4+ or CD8+ epitopes of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) for 24 h with concanavalin A (ConA) or bovine serum albumin-coated beads, acting as positive and negative control, respectively. Wells containing PBMC alone served as controls. Samples were tested in triplicates. Images from the plate scan generated by the ImmunoSpot analyzing system are shown. Average numbers of spots per well are indicated. (B) Summary of the spots per well in IFN-γ ELISPOT assay. (C) Results shown are the concentrations of IFN-γ in serum samples of wild-type (WT) and Tg pigs (ND, not detected). P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
