From: Pretreatment with Saccharomyces boulardii does not prevent the experimental mucositis in Swiss mice
Secretory IgA in the small intestinesof mice pre-treated or not with S. boulardii and subjected to mucositis induction. Mice from the Control + Sb and Mucositis + Sb groups were pre-treated with 108 CFU of S. boulardii by gavage for 10 days; other groups received saline by gavage. On the 11th day of the experiment, mice from the Mucositis group received an intraperitoneal injection of 300 mg/kg of 5-FU. Small intestine fluid was collected and sIgA was measured by ELISA.
