Table 1.

In vitro cytokine production of spleen cells from naïve animals in response to BLGu and BLGn.

Cytokine BLGu Median (IQR) BLGn Median (IQR]) p Value
IFN-γ (pg/mL) 59.65 (26.90–201.00) 442.40 (128.00–781.50) 0.03
IL-10 (pg/mL) 0.00 (0.00–8.59) 0.00 (0.00–3.38) 0.60
IL-4 (pg/mL) 8.75 (5.86–16.19) 4.13 (1.86–23.81) 0.63

Cytokine levels after BLGu and BLGn stimulation were compared by Mann–Whitney-U-test. IFN-γ was significantly enhanced by stimulation of BLGn compared to BLGu. BLG, beta-lactoglobulin; BLGn, nitrated BLG; BLGu, untreated BLG; IQR, interquartile range.
