From: Lactobacillus acidophilus induces a slow but more sustained chemokine and cytokine response in naïve foetal enterocytes compared to commensal Escherichia coli

Figure 3

Foetal epithelial cells produce cytokines upon in vitro stimulation with G+ and G- commensals with different kinetics. Cytokine and chemokine production in epithelial cells from foetuses at Day-1 after 2 h, 4 h and 18 h stimulation with LPS (10 μg/ml), L. acidophilus NCFM (10, 30 and 100 μg/ml) or E. coli Nissle (1, 10, 30 μg/ml) measured by ELISA. Symbols indicate mean and SD of 4 independent experiments with cells pooled from 6-10 pups. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 compared to "unstimulated cells" represented by dotted lines.
