LT expression results in increased production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in IPEC-J2 cells. A Change in the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 following infection with WT ETEC C83902, C83902ΔeltAB mutant, and complemented C83902ΔeltAB/pBR322-eltAB strains. B Change in the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 following infection with WT ETEC1836-2 and 1836-2/pBR322-eltAB strains. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD of triplicate experiments.
