Re-stimulation of spleen cells with BLGu does not indicate an influence of treatment on cytokine production in allergic mice. Isolated spleen cells of BLGu-allergic mice fed with BLGu or BLGn were stimulated with BLGu, and supernatants were screened for the presence of cytokines. No significant differences between BLG preparations were detected after baseline subtraction for (A) IFN-γ (Mann–Whitney-U-test), (B) IL-10 (unpaired t-test), (C) or IL-4 (unpaired t-test with Welch correction). BLG, beta-lactoglobulin; BLGn, nitrated BLG; BLGu, untreated BLG.
