IFN-γ induction by B. abortus, bDNA, and
LPS. BALB/c spleen cells were cultured with the indicated stimuli;
supernatants were harvested at 24, 48, and 72 h, and supernatants
were assayed for IFN-γ by ELISA. LPS was derived from either E.
coli (LPS-EC) or B. abortus (LPS-BA). Controls include
cells stimulated with eukaryotic herring testis DNA (DNA-HT) and
untreated cells.
