Figure 8

IgA and IgG antibody secreting cells (ASCs) and α4+β7+ B cells in ileum increased in PEDV + VA gilts. A Mammary gland (MG), spleen, mesenteric lymph node (MLN) and ileum mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated and added to PEDV ELISPOT plates to determine the PEDV specific IgA and B IgG ASCs. C Ileum MNCs were isolated and analyzed for frequencies of α4+β7+ B cells by flow cytometry. Asterisks indicate significant differences among treatment groups at the same time point (mean ± SEM). Statistical analysis was performed a two-way ANOVA with repeated measures and Bonferroni’s correction for multiple comparisons (A, B) or a Mann–Whitney t-test (C). *P < 0.05 **P < 0.01 ***P < 0.001.
