Figure 2

Effect of GM on numbers of intraepithelial and splenic NK cells before and during SE infection in broiler chickens. A Numbers (cells/mg) of intraepithelial IL-2Rα+ and B 20E5+ NK cells in chickens either fed standard (control) or long-chain glucomannan supplemented (GM) diet in course of time before and during SE infection. C Numbers (cells/mg) of splenic IL-2Rα+ and D 20E5+ NK cells in chickens either fed standard or GM diet before and during SE infection. Mean + SEM per diet group and time point are shown (n  = 6), if n  = 5; one chicken was excluded due to numbers of events acquired in the gate of interest were  < 100. Statistical significance between diet groups is indicated as **(p  < 0.01) and in course of time within a group as #(p  < 0.05), ##(p  < 0.01).
