Altered composition of CD4+ T cell subsets in total CD4+ T cells associated with L. lactis 11/19-B1 intake in DNFB-induced mice. Changed composition of CD4+ T cell subsets in the PPs and CLNs collected at 6 h after the last DNFB application were measured by intracellular staining and FACS analysis. Results are expressed as the means ± SD of five determinations for each group (n = 5). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 by Mann–Whitney U test. Peyer’s patches (PPs), cervical lymph nodes (CLNs). L. bulgaricus (L.B).
