Figure 3From: 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 NK cell activation in IELs and spleen before and during SE infection in broiler chickens. A Percentages of intraepithelial NK cells expressing CD107 and B IFNγ in chickens either fed standard (control) or long-chain glucomannan supplemented (GM) diet in course of time before and during SE infection. C Percentages of splenic NK cells expressing CD107 and D IFNγ 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) and statistical significance between diet groups is indicated as ***(p  < 0.001) and in course of time within a group as #(p  < 0.05), ##(p  < 0.01), ###(p  < 0.001) and ####(p  < 0.0001).Back to article page
