Figure 2
Effect of undernutrition on cytokine production by BALB/c mice immunized with BCG. Splenic cells were stimulated with rhsp65 or ConA, and IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-10 production were measured by ELISA. Evaluations were performed 25 days after the beginning of dietary restriction, that is, 15 days after BCG immunization. Values represent mean ± standard deviation of 6-7 animals. *.
