Streptococcus thermophilus ST28 Ameliorates Colitis in Mice Partially by Suppression of Inflammatory Th17 Cells

Figure 3

Effects of S. thermophilus ST28 administration on cytokine production in the lamina propria lymphocytes (LPLs) from DSS-induced colitis mice. LPLs from DSS-induced mice orally administered ST28 or ATCC 19258 were incubated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28. Culture supernatants were harvested and assayed for concentrations of IL-17 (a) and IFN-γ (b). LPLs from untreated DSS-induced colitis mice (−) and healthy control mice (Cont) were also assayed. ND, not detected.
