Levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 secreted by spleen, MLN, PP and ILP from immunized mice at different times after vaccination. Concentrations of the two cytokines (IFN-γ and IL-4) were determined in supernatant after the spleen, MLN, PP and ILP cells were stimulated with 4 Î¼g of rTsgal at 37 Â°C and 5% CO2 for 72 h. The data are shown as the mean ± SD of 5 mice per group. The vaccination times are shown with arrows (↑). T. spiralis challenge infection time is indicated by triangles (â–³). Asterisk (*) indicates significance at P < 0.0001 compared to the empty NC8, lactose or PBS group (one-way ANOVA with LSD test). ILP, Intestinal lamina propria; MLN, mesenteric lymph nodes; PP, Peyer’s patches
