Results are expressed as the means of the concentrations obtained and are representative of two independent experiments. Lightface text represents values below the background (cut offs were at 39 pg/ml for IFN-γ and at 0.15 pg/ml for IL-4 and were calculated as the mean concentration [+ 3 standard deviations] of the background). Boldface indicates significant production.
