<p>IFN-γ production by (a) CD4-depleted and (c) CD8-depleted splenocytes after stimulation with purified recombinant GST tagged E-protein derived peptides. The WNV E-protein specific T-cell repertoire in BALB/c mice was expanded by two DNA vaccinations. Splenocytes obtained two weeks after the boost were stimulated with different recombinant GST tagged E-protein derived peptides and the numbers of cells producing IFN-γ were determined via ELISPOT. (b) Detection of serum IgG1 and IgG2a titers to the WNV E-protein two weeks after the boost via ELISA.</p
