Kinetics of mediator secretion. Groups of female mice from BALB/c strain,
13–15 g of body weight, were i.p. injected with 1 of Cdt. After
different times the animals were bled and the levels of cytokines present in the
serum were determined as described in materials and methods (see Section 2). Each
point represents the mean value of the results obtained from two independent
experiments conducted with five to fifteen animals each. Statistical differences
