IFNG and neoplasm: When adjusted based on percentage of CD3+ T cells, the levels of IFN-γ secretion per percentage of T cells from tumor-bearing mice fed with AJ2 and injected with NK cells were similar to non-tumor-bearing healthy mice (data not shown), therefore, feeding AJ2 not only increases the recruitment of immune cells to the gingiva but it also restores the amount of secreted IFN-γ to the levels seen by gingival cells of healthy mice.
