Interferon Tau Affects Mouse Intestinal Microbiota and Expression of IL-17

Figure 4

IFNT supplementation decreases expression of IL-17. (a) Expression of innate immune factors (Pigr, Mucin-4, Cryptidin-1, Cryptidin-4, Cryptidin-5, Il-17, Ifn-γ, Lyz, and J-chain) in the jejunum of mice (). (b) Expression of innate immune factors in the ileum of mice (). (c) Expression of innate immune factors in the colon of mice (). (d) IFNT decreases expression of IL-17 in the jejunum of mice following ETEC infection (). Data were analyzed using Student’s t-test. An asterisk () indicates a statistically significant difference between treatment groups ().
