Stimulation index (SI) of lymphocytes was calculated according to the formula: SI = number of cpm of lymphocytes incubated with mitogen: number of cpm of lymphocytes incubated without mitogen.
Two measures of response were used in this paper: stimulation index, a measure of so-called 'cell-mediated immunity' (CD4 responses), and [gamma]-interferon enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT), which demonstrates the presence and frequency of [gamma]-interferon-secreting cells, a marker for the presence of cytotoxic T-cells (CD8 cells).
Results were expressed as stimulation index (counts per minute of stimulated cultures divided by counts per minute of unstimulated cultures).
