Effects of dietary supplementation with plasma concentrate (spray-dried plasma, SDP) and plasma protein fraction (PPF) obtained from porcine blood, on lamina propria eosinophils in a rat model of mild intestinal inflammation. Panel A shows the effect on cell number. Panel B shows the effects on eosinophil activation as indicated by the degree of degranulation. Inflammation was induced by intraperitoneal administration of 50 μ g of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B (SEB) on d 30 and 33 of age. Animals were fed experimental diets for 14 d. Results are mean ± SEM of 5 animals. Symbols indicate significant differences (P < 0.05): *vs. control group; §vs. SEB group (unpublished data).
