Fig. 5From: The composition of a bioprocessed shiitake (Lentinus edodes) mushroom mycelia and rice bran formulation and its antimicrobial effects against Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium strain SL1344 in macrophage cells and in miceEffects of BPRBE on induction of IFN-β production through IRF3 activation in S. Typhimurium-infected macrophages. a Phospho-IRF3 protein (p-IRF3) expression profiles assessed by Western blot analysis. RAW 264.7 cells (1 × 105) were treated with BPRBE and NPRBE for 24 h and infected with S. Typhimurium and lysed. The phospho-form of IRF3 in the cell lysates was identified using Western blotting. b IFN-β release from S. Typhimurium-infected macrophages pre-treated with BPRBE and NPRBE was determined using an ELISA kit. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD of triplicate experiments.
