The mechanisms by which immunoglobulin A (IgA) production up-regulates in the intestine of Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4)-mutated mice were investigated. When TLR4-mutated, C3H/HeJ and BALB/lps(d) mice received oral administration of cholera toxin (CT), not only CT-specific IgA levels in the intestinal lavage but also the number of IgA-producing cells in intestinal lamina propria (iLP) significantly increased...
