Oral Administration of MBG to Modulate Immune Responses and Suppress OVA-Sensitized Allergy in a Murine Model

Figure 4

The comparison of IgA, IgG2a, IgG1, and IgE concentration in OVA-stimulated mice administered with MBG of different dosages. The productions of serum IgA and IgG2a were significantly elevated compared to the control group ((a) and (b)). The levels of IgG1 and IgE in OVA-stimulated group were significantly reduced in experimental groups receiving MBG when compared with the measurement from the control group ((c) and (d)). Each value represents the mean ± SD from ten independent experiments. Statistical significance was indicated by Duncan’s test; the different letters represent a significant difference between the groups ( ). PC: positive control, low: low dose, med.: medium, high: high dose.
