Effects of lactic acid bacteria on T cell response upon antigen-pulsed dendritic cells from Peyer’s patches. CD11c+ cells that from the Peyer’s patch of wild-type mice were pulsed with OVA peptides (0, 50, 250 ng/ml) and co-cultured with naïve CD4+ T cells from spleen of OT-Ⅱ mice in the presence of heat-killed L. bulgaricus ME-552 or S. thermophilus ME-553 for 72 h. The ratio of cells in the co-culture was as follows; CD11c+ cells:naïve T cells:ME552 or ME553 = 1:5:50. IFN-γ concentrations in the supernatant were determined using ELISA. Values are expressed as mean ± SD for three experiments. Different from the medium only, Student’s t-test was performed for p-values.
