Figure Lengend Snippet: A and B) Splenocyte/Lymph node mixed cell cultures from Sez6L2 or sham immunized mice were left unstimulated or were stimulated with H-Sez6L2 or M-Sez6L2 protein as indicated for 24 hours in an IFNγ ELISPOT assay. N=8-10. A) Representative images of ELISPOT wells. B) Quantification of the number of spots per 200,000 splenocytes/lymph node cells plated. C-E) Splenocyte/Lymph node mixed cell cultures from Sez6L2 or sham immunized mice were stimulated with M-Sez6L2 protein for 24 or 72 hours followed by cell surface and intracellular cytokine staining and analysis by flow cytometry. C) Graphs show the percent of CD4 + cells positive for IFNγ or TNFα after stimulation in culture for 24 hours. N=8-10. D) Graphs show the percent of CD4 + cells positive for IFNγ, TNFα, IL-4, or IL-17A after stimulation in culture for 72 hours. M=4-5. E) Graphs show the percent of CD8 + cells positive for IFNγ, TNFα after stimulation in culture for 24 hours. N= 8-10. Statistics for all graphs = Welch-ANOVAs with Dunnett’s T3 MCTs.
Article Snippet: Mixed splenocyte and lymph node cells were plated on IFNγ ELISPOT pre-coated plates (Cellular Technology Limited, mIFNgp-2M) in serum-free media at a cell density of 200,000 cells per well with or without 8 μg/mL mouse or human recombinant Sez6L2 protein.
