Figure 9From: Long-chain glucomannan supplementation modulates immune responsiveness, as well as intestinal microbiota, and impacts infection of broiler chickens with Salmonella enterica serotype EnteritidisCorrelation between microbial taxa and intraepithelial and splenic immune parameters at 14 and 21 dpi of SE in broiler chickens. A Correlation values between intestinal microbial taxa in the ileum or B caeca significantly increased with diet and splenic SE-CFUs, serum antibody titers, percentages of NK cell activation (CD107 or IFNγ expression) or numbers of NK and T cell subsets of the ileum (IEL) and spleen (Spln) per diet (control, GM) at 14 and 21 dpi of SE in broiler chickens. Pearson’s correlation ® values are depicted in a heatmap as positive (yellow) or negative (dark blue) correlations.Back to article page
