Abstract

<p>Mice were immunized subcutaneously with RV16 VP0 protein plus IFA/CpG, or with IFA/CpG adjuvant only and infected intranasally with RV1B or sham PBS-challenged, as described. (a) Lung tissue IFN-γ, IL-17a and IL-4 mRNA levels measured by Taqman qPCR. (b) T cell cytokine proteins in BAL measured by ELISA. (c) Lung cells harvested 6 days after intranasal challenge were incubated with the indicated stimuli and IFN-γ producing cells were enumerated by ELISPOT assay. n = 4 mice/group. Statistics indicated are for RV-immunized vs RV-adjuvant groups. ***<i>P</i><0.001, **<i>P</i><0.01.</p
