Effect of orally fed BLS-mix on PKC-α, ZO-1, and occludin expression. Western blot analysis of PKC-α, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), and occludin expression in jejunal tissues collected from pigs 1 week after F4+ ETEC/VTEC/EPEC challenge. A Representative Western blot results for PKC-α in jejunal tissues collected from 1 pig of each group are shown. B Representative Western blot results for ZO-1 and occludin in jejunal tissues collected from 2 pigs of each group are shown. C Results are presented as the ratio of the intensity of the ZO-1 or occludin band to the intensity of the β-actin band. Data are expressed in arbitrary units (A.U.) as the mean ± SEM for each tissue (n = 8 per group). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
