Figure 5From: A melanoma helper peptide vaccine increases Th1 cytokine production by leukocytes in peripheral blood and immunized lymph nodes Cytokine response in sentinel immunized lymph nodes. Cytokines were measured from lymphocytes collected from sentinel immunized lymph nodes cultured for 2 days with the 6 melanoma helper peptide mixture. Arm A (patients 1-9) received 200 mcg, Arm B (patients 10-15) received 400 mcg and Arm C (patients 16-23) received 800 mcg. Cytokine cultures were performed in triplicate. All cytokine levels shown are corrected for background and negative control. The node was not able to be collected from patient #14.Back to article page
