Figure 9.
Effects of SCFA (butyrate, propionate and acetate) and GOS/inulin treatment in vitro on human IL-10+ Breg cell and CD27+CD38high plasmablast frequencies. Human B cells isolated from PBMCs were cultured for 3 days with GOS/inulin, butyrate, propionate, acetate or no treatment as a control (n=11). The frequencies of IL-10+ B cells and plasmablast CD27+CD38high B cells were estimated by flow cytometry (* = p<0.05, ** = p<0.01, *** = p<0.001).
