Trypanosoma evansi β-tubulin-specific immune response induced post immunization with rTe-β-tubulin. a Serum levels of IL-4 and TNF-α in mice pre- and 24 h post-inoculation with FCA adjuvenated rTe-β-tubulin; asterisks indicate significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) between the pre- and post-immunization mean levels for each cytokine. b Te-β-tubulin-specific IgG and IgG2a antibody in mouse sera at 14 days post immunization with rTe-β-tubulin or FCA control. Data presented as mean ± s.e.m. from at least 6 mice/treatment; asterisks indicate significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) between the mean OD₄₉₂ values for serum IgG or IgG2a of FCA adjuvenated rTe-β-tubulin vaccinated mice compared with FCA-only inoculated control mice
