translocation across Caco-2 monolayers (a) and transepithelial electrical
resistance (TEER) of Caco-2 monolayers (b). (a) Epithelial cells were incubated with various doses of L. rhamnosus for 3 hours
before adding 107 E44. Transcytosis assays were carried out as
described above. All values represent the means of triplicate determinations at
4 hours. Experiments were repeated three times. Error bars indicate standard
deviations. . (b) TEER was not significantly altered
after 0 to 6 hours incubation.
