ao Dot plots where dots, lines, and error bars represent, respectively, individual mice, means, and SEM. ac Fecal IgA, serum IgA, and IgG2b Luminex analysis. F test for multiple linear regression analysis (fecal IgA) and one-way ANOVA followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison analyses (serum IgA, IgG2b) (17 GF, 21 GM15, and 20 SOPF). d Circulating IL-22 level Luminex analysis. One-way ANOVA followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison analyses (16 GF, 20 GM15, and 20 SOPF). e PP number. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison analysis (17 GF, 21 GM15, and 20 SOPF). f CD45+ cell count in PPs. CD45+ cell count per million of viable cells stained (filled symbol) or CD45+ cell count per total viable cells stained when <1 M cells were isolated (empty symbol). No statistical test (17 GF, 21 GM15, and 19 SOPF). g–i CD45+ cell count comparison in the spleen, thymus, and MLNs by flow cytometry (CD45+ count per million of viable cells stained). One-way ANOVA followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison analyses (17 GF, 21 GM15, and 20 SOPF). j, k IgG3 and IgM Luminex analysis. One-way ANOVA followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison analyses (17 GF, 21 GM15, and 20 SOPF). l, m IgE Luminex analysis. One-way ANOVA followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison analyses and Mann–Whitney test, respectively (15 GF, 21 GM15, and 20 SOPF; additional F5–F6 male mice: 10 GM15_M and 10 SOPF_M). n, o Circulating IL-17a level Luminex analysis. One-way ANOVA followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison analyses and Mann–Whitney test, respectively (16 GF, 20 GM15, and 20 SOPF; additional F5–F6 male mice: 10 GM15_M and 10 SOPF_M). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001.
