Fig. 3. Cell proliferation over time with and without IL-10 in the vaccination models. / Proliferation assays were performed in the presence and absence of antigen, cytokines (100 U/mL of IL-2 and IL-15, respectively) or PMA–ionomycin (PMA, 25 ng/mL; ionomycin, 0.5 μM) using splenocytes (1 × 106 cells/well) harvested from mice 14, 21, and 28 days after DC vaccination in each group depicted in Figure 2. After 48-hour culture, 0.037 MBq (1 μCi) [3H]-thymidine was added, and cells were harvested 16 hours later. Statistically significant differences relative to DC-vaccinated mice that did not receive IL-10 are indicated. Control mice were immunized with DCs in the absence of peptide. Each bar represents the mean of 3 mice evaluated.
