A. levels of IgA in feces. B. levels of IgA in sera.

A. The number of WBCs. B. Levels of CRP were determined by Elisa. C. Levels of TNF-α. D. Levels of IL-6. E. Levels of IL-4. F. Levels of IL-10. (A-F) *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, NS = no significance.

A. Relative mRNA expression of TLR4 was detected by qPCR. B. Relative mRNA expression of MYD88. C. Relative expression of NF-κB in nuclear and cytoplasmic protein was determined by western blot in rabbits of the mERAT group. LaminB (64KDa), β-actin (42KDa), NF-κB p65 (60KDa). D. Relative expression of NF-κB in nuclear and cytoplasmic protein in rabbits of the appendectomy group. E. Relative expression of NF-κB in nuclear and cytoplasmic protein in rabbits of the blank group.

A.-F. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to determine fecal microbiota in rabbits of the three groups. Values are shown as a relative ratio to total bacterial 16s rRNA measured by 2^-∆∆ct method. A.-F. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, NS = no significance.

A. The number of IgA⁺ cells. B. The number of IgG⁺ cells. C. The number of IgM⁺ cells. D. The number of CD4⁺ cells. E. The number of Ki67⁺ cells. F. The number of CD8⁺ cells; CD8⁺ cells in the appendix before modeling and at 2 ,4 , 8 weeks after mERAT (from left to right, black arrow); CD8⁺ cells in the appendix in the blank group at the same time point as the mERAT group (from left to right, black arrow). (A-F) *P < 0.05, NS = no significance. Bar = 3μm.
