Figure 2From: Long-chain glucomannan supplementation modulates immune responsiveness, as well as intestinal microbiota, and impacts infection of broiler chickens with Salmonella enterica serotype EnteritidisEffect 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).Back to article page
