<p>BALB/c mice (ten mice per group) were immunized in the right ear three times at two-week intervals with <i>Ph</i>. <i>sergenti</i> SGH, plasmid coding for PsSP9, empty plasmid (VR1020) or PBS. Two weeks after the last immunization, mice were challenged with 10<sup>7</sup> metacyclic <i>L</i>. <i>tropica</i> plus <i>Ph</i>. <i>sergenti</i> SGH in the contralateral ear. Data shown are from one representative of two independent experiments. (A) IFN-γ, (B) IL-5 and (C) the ratio of IFN-γ to IL-5 expression in the dLN of BAB/c mice (four to five mice per group) immunized with PsSP9, <i>Ph</i>. <i>sergenti</i> SGH, VR1020 or PBS, at one month post-challenge with <i>L</i>. <i>tropica</i> plus <i>Ph</i>. <i>sergenti</i> SGH. The obtained results were normalized to the expression level of HPRT. These data are presented as fold change relative to the PBS control group. (D) IFN-γ, (E) IL-5 and (F) the ratio of IFN-γ to IL-5 mRNA expression in dLN of BALB/c mice (five mice per group) immunized with PsSP9, <i>Ph</i>. <i>sergenti</i> SGH, VR1020 or PBS, at two months post challenge with <i>L</i>. <i>tropica</i> plus <i>Ph</i>. <i>sergenti</i> SGH. The obtained results were normalized to the expression level of HPRT. These data are presented as fold change relative to the PBS control. The <i>p</i> value is indicated for each vaccinated group compared with the control plasmid group (VR1020).</p>
