FIG. 2.

Relative expression of proinflammatory cytokine transcripts (IL-12p40, IL-18, and IFN-γ) from cecal tonsil or spleen mononuclear cells. Cecal tonsil or spleen mononuclear cells were cocultured with medium (control), S. Typhimurium, L. acidophilus, L. reuteri, or L. salivarius in a cell-to-bacterium ratio of 1:1. Data are expressed as the relative expression of cytokine mRNA levels normalized to the expression of β-actin. An asterisk indicates a significant difference (P < 0.05) between treated and control cells.
