Figure 4From: Intact skin and not stripped skin is crucial for the safety and efficacy of peanut epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) in miceCellular responses induced in mice after oral sensitization and epicutaneous immunotherapy. Measurement of Th2 cytokine levels (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) and IFN-γ secretion by splenocytes collected from each group of mice (naive, Sham, EPIT, stripping-EPIT) immediately after sacrifice. Splenocytes were prepared and stimulated with PPE for 72 hrs. Cytokines were measured by Bioplex cytokine assay®. Data are presented as means ± SD for each group, * p<0.05, ** p<0.01.Back to article page
