Titration of cytokines secreted by T cells. PBS or 50 µg of Ubiquitously Transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat gene Y-linked (UTY) + DEAD Box polypeptide 3 Y-linked (DBY) HY peptides were injected in the subretinal space (SR) of mice at day 0. 2 weeks later, the immune response was challenged by a subcutaneous immunization (SC) of either PBS:CFA or HY:CFA (N = 4–7). 1 week after the immunization, total splenocytes were re-stimulated in vitro by UTY, DBY, or UTY + DBY peptides. After 36 h of culture, supernatants were removed and titrated for the indicated cytokines (5 mice/group/experiment). (A) The results are represented as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis: ANOVA, Tukey post-test. (B) Kiviat diagram representing the percentage of inhibition of secretion in the HY SR/HY SC group compared to the PBS SR/HY SC group. (C) Principal component analysis of data presented in panel (A). Each point represents an individual mouse. On the merged presentation (last panel), the ellipses represent the 95% confidence interval of a bivariate normal distribution.
