From: Protective action of Bacillus clausii probiotic strains in an in vitro model of Rotavirus infection
B. clausii and its supernatant significantly reduce Rotavirus-induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in human enterocytes. Rotavirus (RV) (10 pfu/cell) elicited a significant increase in IL-8 (A) and IFN-β (B) production. B. clausii probiotic strains (3 × 108 cells/mL) and B. clausii supernatant (Sup, dilution 1:100) significantly inhibited the RV-induced increase in IL-8 and IFN-β production. *p < 0.05 vs NT; #p < 0.05 vs RV.
