Figure Lengend Snippet: The splenocytes were isolated from naïve mice (open bars), mice orally immunized with 168 spores (dotted open bars), BKH108 (CotC-UreB, vegetative expression of UreB) (bars with horizontal hatching), BKH122 (CotB-linker-IL-2) (bars with vertical hatching) or 1∶1 mixture of BKH108 and BKH122 (dotted closed bars). Cells were treated with purified UreB protein for 72 h and then the IFN-γ cells were enumerated by ELISpot procedure. Error bars represent standard deviation. * p-value <0.05, ** p-value <0.005. I – day 22, II – day 43, III – day 61.
Article Snippet: Splenocytes (2×10 5 /mL) were cultured in presence or absence of UreB antigen for 48 h. The spots were counted using automated ELISpot plate reader (CTL-ImmunoSpot S6 Micro Analyzer, USA).
