Average number of spot forming units (SFU) per million splenocytes from triplicate wells; the average number of SFU/million in medium only control wells was subtracted. Negative values were assigned 0.
Stimulation index (SI) calculated as average number of SFUs in peptide stimulated wells over medium only control wells.
SFUs in peptide stimulated wells from immunized mice compared to mock-immunized mice by Student's t-test.
Mice are deemed responsive to a peptide if their SFU is >50 and if their SI is >2 and if their p-value is lower than 0.05.
