Figure 5From: Saccharomyces cerevisiae mannan induces sheep beta-defensin-1 expression via Dectin-2-Syk-p38 pathways in ovine ruminal epithelial cellsMannan-induced upregulation of SBD-1 is Syk-dependent. SBD-1 expression, as determined by qPCR. OREC were incubated with R406 (1 μM and 5 μM) for 30 min prior to the addition of 50 μg/mL mannan for 4 h. Data are mean ± SD (n = 3). Different letters indicate significantly different means (P < 0.01).Back to article page
