× 106 cells/well in 6-well plates (Corning Inc., Corning, NY) and
stimulated with 5 μg/ml of concanavalin A (ConA) or 1 MOI of TMEV for 48 hours.
After 2 days the supernatants were collected and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA) (42 (link)). The levels of IL-4, IL-6,
IL-10, and IFN-γ concentrations were detected with BD OptEIA kits (BD Biosciences,
San Diego, CA) and IL-17A was detected with a Mouse IL-17A ELISA MAX™kit (Biolegend, Inc., San Diego, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions
(45 (link)). ELISAs were performed in duplicate in
96-well plates.
