In vivo effects of Mc-fEE on populations of NK cells in mice spleens. a Body weights of Mc-fEE (0–200 mg/kg)-treated mice were measured once a week for 4 weeks. b, c Spleen or thymus weights were obtained from Mc-fEE (0–200 mg/kg)-treated mice. d T cells CD3 + , Tc cells CD3 + /CD4-/CD8 + , Th cells CD3 + /CD4 + /CD8-, macrophages F4/80 + , and dendritic cells CD11c + were isolated from the spleens of orally treated Mc-fEE (0–200 mg/kg) mice. The populations of cells were detected by flow cytometry analysis. e Populations of NK cells NKp46 + from orally treated Mc-fEE mice spleens were measured by flow cytometry analysis and plotted. The data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 15). *: p < 0.05 compared to the normal group
