In vitro IFN-γ production from lymph node cells isolated during the period of rmIL-12 treatment. Mice received a single injection of either vehicle (A) or rmIL-12 (0.5 μg) (B) 7 days before daily rmIL-12 administration (days 0 to 5). Lymph nodes (popliteal, axillary, and brachial) were harvested during the period of daily rmIL-12 administration for in vitro cytokine assays. The cells were stimulated with either rmIL-12 (0.1 [] or 1 ng/mL [▪]) or Con A (0.5 μg/mL, ▨) as described in the Materials and Methods section. IFN-γ secretion was measured by a commercially available ELISA (Endogen). (▨), Control.
