Caffeic acid phenethyl ester modifies the Th1/Th2 balance in ileal mucosa after γ-irradiation in the rat by modulating the cytokine pattern

Figure 3 Expression of transcription factors of Th1/Th2 polarization after irradiation in rats. (■): CAPE-untreated; (□): CAPE-treated. A: Western blot analysis using T-Bet and GATA-3 polyclonal antibody, GAPDH levels are used as internal standard; B: Real-time RT-PCR analysis (mean ± SEM, n = 6); ^aP < 0.005, ^bP < 0.01 vs control; ^cP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.01 vs untreated rats.
