Effects of LcSFB on splenocytes from OVA-injected (s.c.) mice ex vivo. (A) Splenocyte proliferation. (B) Representative experiments evaluating the effect of LcSFB on Treg cells. (C) Relative percentages of Treg cells in splenocytes. (D) Representative experiments evaluating the effect of LcSFB on T helper cells (E) Relative percentages of T helper cells in splenocytes. NCi mice gavaged with saline, negative control, Li mice gavaged with low-dose LcSFB (2.5 × 109 CFU/kg BW), Hi mice gavaged with high-dose LcSFB (5 × 109 CFU/kg BW). Different superscript letters (a, b) indicate significant differences at p < 0.05; one-way ANOVA with Tukey HSD post-hoc tests (n = 10).
