Th2 cytokine secretion levels. IL-4 (P = 0.0288) a and IL-5 (P = 0.0015) b produced 72 h after stimulating splenocytes ex vivo with recombinant Sm-cathepsin B. Splenocytes were isolated from every C57BL/6 mice belonging to each group: Saline control (saline), Montanide ISA 70VG control (Montanide), and Sm-cathepsin B in the presence of Montanide ISA 720 VG (SmCB + Montanide). Cytokine production was analyzed by QUANSYS multiplex ELISA. Geometric means and 95 % confidence intervals are shown. (ns = not significant, *P <0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P <0.001)
