Relative cytokine mRNA expression levels by splenocytes after 48h stimulation with recombinant Sm-p80 in vitro. The relative cytokine mRNA expression was calculated by comparing the differences in the message levels of the control group with the respective experimental group after standardization using glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH); (A) ‘DNA prime–protein boost’ group; (B) ‘recombinant protein–R848’ group..
