Lagochilascaris minor: Susceptibility and Resistance to Experimental Infection in Mice Is Independent of H-2^a Haplotype and Correlates with the Immune Response in Immunized Animals

Figure 5

Level of IFN$\gamma$ in the culture supernatant of spleen cells from A/J and B10.A mice nonimmunized (NI) and immunized (I) with the crude extract of L3 larvae of Lagochilascaris minor, stimulated with (a) ConA or (b) CE. Spleen cells were stimulated in vitro and the supernatant was collected after 48 hours. Cytokine production was considered positive if over the detection limit of 15 pg/mL for IFN$\gamma$. Bars represent the mean values $\pm$ SD.
