Effect of adult microbiota (AM) on T cells in broiler chickens. (A) Gating strategy after isolation of lymphocytes from IEL to analyze T cell subsets and γδ T cell activation. (B,F) Percentages of total γδ T cells, subsets (data not shown) and (C,G) γδ T cell activation by characterization of surface markers TCRγδ and CD107 during aging in (B–E) IEL and (F–I) spleen. (D,H) Percentages of cytotoxic T cell subsets using the surface markers CD8αα and (E,I) CD8αβ during aging. Mean + SEM of chickens is shown (n = 6), however, chickens were excluded from analysis when numbers of events acquired in the gate of interest were <100.
