CD4+ T-cell cytokine response in WT and Ras-deficient mice early after L major challenge

WTH-ras KON-ras KO
IFN-γ+ 17.4 ± 1.9 5.5 ± 0.7 (.015*5.8 ± 0.5 (.041*
IL-4+ 1.2 ± 0.9 1.2 ± 0.5 (.709) 0.8 ± 0.3 (.520) 
WTH-ras KON-ras KO
IFN-γ+ 17.4 ± 1.9 5.5 ± 0.7 (.015*5.8 ± 0.5 (.041*
IL-4+ 1.2 ± 0.9 1.2 ± 0.5 (.709) 0.8 ± 0.3 (.520) 

Values represent the percentage (mean ± SD; 2 mice per group) of CD4+ T cells positive for the indicated cytokine, as determined by cytometric intracellular staining, in anti–CD3/CD28-stimulated (48 hours) draining lymph node cells 1 week after parasite challenge. P values versus WT using unpaired t test are shown in parentheses.
