Toll-like receptor 2-mediated induction of avian β-defensin 9 by Lactobacillus rhamnosus and its cellular components in chicken intestinal epithelial cells

This study aimed to investigate the effects of probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus MLGA and its cell wall components on the induction of avian β-defensin 9 (AvBD9) expression in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from chicken embryos and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. Chicken IECs were stimula...
