Lymphocyte and monocyte function in colon and blood. (a) Dendrimer glucosamine (DG; 334 mg) did not change the % CD3+
CD4+ lymphocytes or % CD3+
CD8+ lymphocytes in colon but reduced their Ki67 activation on day 6. (b, c) DG (334 mg) had no effect on the % tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) ‐producing CD3+
CD4+ lymphocytes and CD3+
CD8+ lymphocytes or on the % TNF‐α, interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), IL‐6, IL‐8‐producing CD14+ monocytes in blood after in vitro stimulation with PMA/ionomycin/Brefeldin‐A (days 0 and 6). Normal (■/□); Shigella (); DG 214 mg (
); DG 334 mg(
). Mean ± SEM with two‐tailed Mann–Whitney test (*P < 0·05).
