FIG 3.

Impact of probiotic treatment on ex vivo cytokine secretion by BLG-stimulated splenocytes. Splenocytes isolated at D63 from WP-sensitized mice were rechallenged ex vivo for 2 days in the presence of BLG (2.5 mg/ml). Each point represents a mouse, and the central horizontal line represents the median of each group. Cytokine concentrations in culture supernatants of splenocytes from probiotic-treated WP-sensitized mice versus PBS controls were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001).
