Figure 5

Age dependent gut maturation does not influence early responses of epithelial cells towards G+ and G- commensals. Epithelial cells from foetuses at Day-1 and neonates at post natal day (PND) 1 and PND6 from germfree mothers stimulated for 2 h with L. acidophilus NCFM or E. coli Nissle. Bars indicate mean and SD of 4 independent experiments with cells pooled from 6-10 pups (Day-1) or 2-3 pups (PND1 and PND6). ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. Data were normalised to Actb and then to the average of "Day -1 unstimulated" from the 4 experiments, which was defined to 1.
