QCHS reduced mature DCs in experimental colitis mice. a Staining of DCs was performed with specific marker CD103 (brown) (magnification, 400×). b Both QCHS and SASP downregulated CD103+ DC counts. The data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 6 per group. *P < 0.05 indicates a significant difference vs the control group. #P < 0.05 indicates a significant difference vs the TNBS group
