 Cytokine production by neutrophils cultured with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and Mycobacterium bovis, Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG). The production of (A) tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) and (B) interleukin (IL‐10) by neutrophils after 2 and 18 h of exposure to LGG or BCG, at a bacteria to neutrophil ratio of 5:1. The supernatant of the 2‐h treatment group was collected 18 h after killing off the extracellular bacteria and replacement with fresh media and this was therefore comparable to the 18‐h treatment group. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. *Statistical significance (P < 0.05) from untreated control.
