Splenocytes were harvested from the mice 2 weeks after the final immunization. Results are presented as means ± the standard errors of three replicate experiments. Values for IFN-γ are for 96 h, values for IL-10 are for 72 h, and values for IL-2, IL-4 are for 24 h. Letter a indicates no statistical difference was observed (P > 0.05), and letter b means significant difference within each cytokine or lymphocyte SI group (compared with PBS or empty vector group, P < 0.05).
