Tsuji, Hiroshi Kiyono, Ji Su Ma, Takashi Kusu, Ryu Okumura, Hiromitsu Hara, Hiroki Yoshida, Masahiro Yamamoto, Koji Nomoto, Kiyoshi Takeda6-week-old C57BL/6 mice were fed L. casei or B. breve or placebo daily (each, 1×109) by oral gavage for 3 months (n = 8). Intestinal lamina propria lymphocytes were analyzed for cytokine production by flow cytometry. Percentages of IL-10-, IL-17-, and IFN-γ-producing CD4+ T cells of mice administered with L. casei (A) or B. breve (C) were shown. *P<0.05. (B, D) Representative FACS dot plots showing production of IL-10 and IFN-γ gated on colonic CD4+ T cells in the indicated mice.
