× 106 cells per well on 24-well plates were cultured with 0.2
× 105 BMDCs and 20 mg/ml chicken OVA for 72 h. In other cases,
20 μg/ml chicken OVA peptide (323–339) (LifeTein) was used. In
some cases, 30 ng/ml IL-12 or 10 ng/ml IL-6 (PeproTech), 10 ng/ml IL-23, and 10
ng/ml IL-1β (eBioscience) were also added. The following were assessed by
ELISA: anti– IFN-γ, biotin anti–IFN-γ,
anti–TGF-β, biotin anti–TGF-β, anti–IL-10,
anti–IL-2, and biotin anti–IL-2 (from BD Biosciences);
anti–IL-17, biotin anti–IL-17, anti–IL-5, biotin
anti–IL-5, anti–IL-13, and biotin anti– IL-13 (from
eBioscience); and anti–IL-4, biotin anti–IL-4, and biotin
anti–IL-10 (from BioLegend). Cell proliferation was assessed with MTT as
per manufacturer instructions (MilliporeSigma).
