Figure 4. BM cells from malnourished mice replete for 7 days with a balanced conventional diet (BCD) with supplemental Lactobacillus rhamnosus (BCD+Lr) or fermented goat milk (BCD+FGM) were stained with fluorochrome labeled anti-mouse B220 and anti-mouse IgM antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry.

Well-nourished control (WNC) and malnourished control (MNC) mice were used as controls. A. Number of B220^intIgM⁻ cells. B. Number of B220^intIgM⁺ cells. C. Number of B220^highIgM⁺ cells is reported. ^a,b,cMean values within a column with unlike superscript letters were significantly different (p<0.05). D. Representative plots of B220 vs IgM expression, gated on lymphocytes, are depicted. Results are representative of two independent experiments, n = 6 samples per group.
