Thrombin-antithrombin complexes (TATc). Lactobacillus casei was orally administrated at a dose of 109 cells for 2 d before challenge with the pathogen; C group mice were infected without previous treatment. (A) TATc in BAL and (B) TATc in plasma were studied. Results are expressed as means ± SD (n = 5 or 6). *Significantly different from the C group at the same time point (p < 0.05).
