Induction of IFN-γ and IL-4 by the immunized mice splenocytes. Mice were sacrificed at 35 dpv. Spleens were isolated and ground into single cells under sterile conditions. Single spleen lymphocyte suspensions (5 × 106 /ml) were obtained using commercial EZ-SepTM Mouse 1× Lymphocyte Separation Medium. About 200 μl of cells was stimulated by FMDV antigens as specific antigen, PHA as positive control, and PBS as negative control .One asterisk indicates that p < 0.05 when comparing results from the ISA206, F + A, F + A + P, F + A + R, F + A + P + R, or PHA groups to the PBS group. Two asterisks indicate p < 0.05 when comparing results from the F + A, F + A + P, F + A + R, or F + A + P + R to ISA206 groups. Data are shown as the mean ± standard error of 12 mice per group.
