Blocking LT-LTβR signaling enhances Th1 response by over-production of IL-12. (a) IFNγ secretion in the popliteal LN from WT mice (solid line) and LTβR-Ig-treated mice (dotted line) detected by CBA test (n = 5/group). (b) IL-12 secretion in the popliteal LN from WT mice (solid line) and LTβR-Ig-treated mice (dotted line) detected by CBA test (n = 5/group). (c) Anti-IFNγ (clone XMG1.2, 500 μg/mouse) was i.p. administered every third day from the day before HSV-1 infection. Th1 response was detected on day 14 p.i. by Elispot (n = 4/group). Immunospots and absolute numbers of IFNγ-secreting CD4+ cells per LN are shown. (d) Anti-IL-12p75 (clone R5-9A2, 500 μg/mouse) was i.p. injected every third day from the day before HSV-1 infection. Th1 response was detected on day 14 p.i. by Elispot (n = 4/group). Immunospots and absolute numbers of IFNγ-secreting CD4+ cells per LN are shown. Data are representative of three independent experiments, shown as mean ± SEM. n.s., not significant; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. (Two-way ANOVA multiple comparisons for a,b).
