Figure 4

Effects of SCFAs on immune cell subsets from the spleen during FAdV-4 infection. The frequencies of macrophage/monocyte and T cell subsets of splenocytes were determined. (A) Frequencies of MHCII+ macrophages/monocytes were examined. Representative plots are shown. (B–D) Frequencies of CD44-expressing T cells (CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+) were calculated and representative plots are shown. Cells were obtained from 3 to 5 chickens per group. At least three independent experiments were repeated, and pooled data are shown. Significant differences were identified using one way ANOVA (*p < 0.05).
