Fig. 6From: Modulations of genes related to gut integrity, apoptosis, and immunity underlie the beneficial effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940 in broilers fed diets with different protein levels in a necrotic enteritis challenge modelEffect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5490 (1.0 × 106 CFU/g of feed) (BA) on the expression of intestinal immunity related genes in broilers at day 16. SCP: Standard protein diet; RCP: Reduced protein diet. IFN-γ: interferon-γ. IL18: Interleukin-18; IL2: Interlukin-2; IgA, IgG and IgM: Immunoglobulin A, G and M. SCP: Standard protein diet; RCP: Reduced protein diet (2% lower than standard diets). Genes used as reference genes were HMBS and YWHAZ. Error bars show SEM for 8 replicates for each treatmentBack to article page
