Relative mRNA abundance of select genes considering the effect of adding MAP to heterogeneous PBMC cell cultures. When disregarding Johne’s test status or the addition of expanded Tregs (these differing culture conditions were pooled in this analysis), the addition of live MAP resulted in an increase in the relative mRNA abundance of several genes including the Treg-associated FOXP3. mRNAs encoding numerous Th1- (IFNγ, IL1A, TBX21, TNFA) and Th17-associated (IL23, IL17A, IL6) proteins were significantly or near-significantly up-regulated. n = 3–8/group, *p < 0.05.
