mRNA expression of cytokine levels from PBMCs in HDM-sensitized Nc/Nga mice treated with Duolac ATP. Nc/Nga mice (n = 6 per group) were sensitized by exposing them to HDM extracts six times over 3 weeks. They were then subjected to oral administration with Duolac ATP. PBMCs were collected at week 4, and RNA was extracted for cDNA synthesis. qPCR was performed to examine the mRNA expression of (A) IL-4, (B) IL-5, (C) IL-17, (D) IL-2, (E) IFN-γ, (F) IL-10, and (G) TGF-β. Relative fold changes of target genes were compared with that of the housekeeping gene, GAPDH. P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001 using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test. Bars indicate mean ± SEM.
