Hematoxylin/Eosin stained sections of jejunum from mice treated with different formulations. Tissue sections were excised and embedded in paraffin. HE staining was performed by standard protocols and the samples assessed blindly for signs of rotavirus infection. (A) infected and untreated mice shows typical signs of grave rotavirus infection with swollen and vacuolized villus tips. (B) L. rhamnosus GG treated mice show moderately resolved histopathology similar to (C) 10 μg/dose HBC treated mice. (D) L. rhamnosus GG combined with HBC is able to resolve the histopathology to normalcy. (E) no histopathology associated with treatment with 100 μg/dose HBC. (F) uninfected control mice.
