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

Figure 5

Effects of S. thermophilus ST28 on the production of IL-6 (a) and IL-10 (b) and the percentage of CD86⁺ cells (c) in bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDC). LPS-matured BMDC were incubated in the absence (−) or presence of ST28 or ATCC 19258 and assayed for concentrations of IL-6 (a) and IL-10 (b). CD86⁺ cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (c). BMDCs without LPS activation were used as controls (Cont). **𝑃<0.01, *𝑃<0.05 ((−) versus Cont, S. thermophilus ST28, or S. thermophilus ATCC 19258). ND, not detected.
