Cytokine responses by i.n.-immunized mice with Hcβtre and Hcβtre-Ad2F plus CT show enhanced Th1-and Th2-type cell responses. Three weeks after final immunization total lymphocytes from (A) spleens, (B) HNLNs, and (C) MLNs of Hcβtre plus CT-or Hcβtre-Ad2F plus CT-immunized mice were isolated and cultured with Hc/B, OVA, or media only for 2 days, and then CFC responses were measured by cytokine-specific ELISPOT. Immune lymphocytes were evaluated for IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IL-13 CFCs/1 × 106 lymphocytes. Data represent the mean ± S.E.M. of three experiments (n = 15 mice). p ≤ 0.001; **, p ≤ 0.05.
