Serum cytokine abundance relative to controls and associated with chronic MAP infection. Data for male and female animals and time points were combined for each experimental group (n = 24) for these results. Experimental groups analyzed were the following: control animals fed normal chow and uninfected (Control; C); animals fed normal chow and infected with non-viable MAP cells, (Killed-MAP; K-MAP); animals fed normal chow and infected with viable MAP cells (Live-MAP; L-MAP); animals fed viable probiotics in chow and uninfected (Live NP-51; L-NP-51); animals fed viable probiotics in chow and infected with non- viable MAP cells (K-MAP + L-NP-51); animals fed viable probiotics in chow and infected with viable MAP cells (L-MAP + L-NP-51). Data analysis methods are further described in the data analysis section.
