Article Title: Human Intestinal Dendritic Cells Decrease Cytokine Release against Salmonella Infection in the Presence of Lactobacillus paracasei upon TLR Activation
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0043197
Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison of the expression of TLR1, TLR2, TLR3, TLR4 and TLR5 in DCs in the presence of the probiotic (Prob), its supernatant (CFS), Salmonella ( S.typhi ) or a combination. LPS, 20 ng/ml, was used as a positive control. The data shown are the mean values and SEM of three independent experiments. The fold change (Fc) represents the ratio of the expression in treated DCs to the expression in control cells. *p<0.05 compared to controls; #p<0.05 compared to S.typhi. N.D indicate no detected.
Article Snippet: The probiotic strain (designated by the Pasteur Institute as L. paracasei CNCM I-4034) was isolated from the faeces of breast-fed newborn children.
