Interferon-gamma-producing spot-forming-units (SFU) per 10 6 cells in patients with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (HT) and healthy controls (HC). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were either stimulated with PHA (A) or with CMV pp65 antigen (B). A representative example of ELISPOT analysis showed similar results for HT patients and HC (C). Negative controls were unstimulated. Experiments were performed in duplicates.
