This trend towards a probiotic-associated boost in IFN-γ production in pigs is consistent with results from human infant studies demonstrating probiotic-associated increases in IFN-γ from PBMCs [6], [24], [25] or cord plasma [26] coupled with decreases in allergic outcomes of atopic dermatitis [2], [6], [7] and cow milk allergy [24]. The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is atopic eczema.
