Flow cytometry used to measure the number of CD4+ lymphocytes expressing Interferon-gamma (IFN-g), Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-a), Interleukin-2 (IL-2), and Cluster of Differentiation 107a (CD107a) after in vitro stimulation with N. gonorrhoeae strain FA1090 Outer-membrane vesicles in circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The frequency of CD4+ T cells expressing at least two activation markers will be expressed as a proportion of total CD4+ lymphocytes. The change in frequency will be presented as the difference between frequency of cells measured at entry visit and at week 7 visit.
