Consumption of BLS-mix alters the cytokine profile in the small intestine after exposure to F4 + ETEC/VTEC/EPEC. The expression of mRNAs for genes encoding (A) IFN-γ, (B) IL-4, (C) IL-17A, (D) IL-10, (E) Foxp3, (F) TGF-β1, (G) TNF-α, (H) IL-6, (I) IL-1β, (J) T-bet, (K) Ahr, and (L) Rorc in both jejunal and ileal tissues collected from the indicated pigs 1 week after F4+ ETEC/VTEC/EPEC challenge was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM for each tissue (n = 8 per group). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; Tukey’s test.
