MVTLINNE peptide immunization increases plasma IL-6 levels. Plasma IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, IFN-γ, and TNF-α levels were measured in immunized, immunized and infected, infected, and untreated control animals, as explained in the text. Data represent mean ± SEM of 5 animals per experimental group, from 3 independent experiments. , as compared with untreated control.
