Figure Lengend Snippet: Cytokine immune response in serum, the in vitro system, and tissue samples. The Th-1 (IFN-γ and IL-12) and Th-2 (IL-4 and IL-10) cytokines were quantified in the serum of immunized animals using ELISA at 2 weeks post-booster: IFN-γ (A) , IL-10 (B) , IL-12 (C) , IL-4 (D) , and IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio (E) . Twelve weeks post-infection IFN-γ (F) , IL-10 (G) , IL-12 (H) , IL-4 (I) , and IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio (J) . All experiments were performed in triplicate, having three biological replicates in each experiment and data are presented here as the mean and standard error. Different vaccinated groups were compared to determine the statistical significance of the data using ANOVA with the Tukey test analysis with p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**), and p < 0.001 (***) level of significance.

Article Snippet: Serum samples collected pre-immunization, post-boost, and 12 weeks post-challenge were analyzed for IgG1 (KLM1629), IgG2a (KLM1488), IFN-γ (KB2011), IL-12 (KLM0020), IL-4 (KLM0051), and IL-10 (KB2072) using GENLISA sandwich ELISA kits (Krishgen BioSystems, USA, catalog numbers as specified).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Pidotimod (PDT) fails to induce pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion by dendritic cells (DCs). Supernatants from DC cultures treated with decreasing concentrations of PDT (10 to 0.0001 μg/mL) or bacterial lysate (LB) were harvested after 48 hours and analysed by ELISA for IL-1β (top), IL-23 (middle) and IL-12 (bottom). *** p <0.001; n.s., not significant. I, immature DCs.

Article Snippet: DC culture supernatants were also collected and analysed for the content of relevant pro-inflammatory cytokines, namely human IL-12 subunit-α (Kit ELISA, BT Lab, Zhejiang, Chine, range 10–2000 pg/mL, limit of detection 4.7 pg/mL), human IL-1β – Kit Elisa (Abcam Ltd, range 0.41–100 pg/mL, limit of detection <0.03 pg/mL) and human IL-23 subunit-α (IL-23A, AFG Bioscience LLC, range 62.5–4000 pg/mL, limit of detection 15.6 pg/mL), all purchased from Prodotti Gianni, Milano, Italy.
