Table 3 Effect of conglycinin peptides on levels of serum IL-2 and small intestinal sIgA in mice (n = 8)

Group	Control	Conglycinin	PTC	P2-PTC	HCl-FHC
sIgA (ng/g)	118.27 ± 33.93	133.17 ± 36.15	139.01 ± 32.65	172.08 ± 35.40ab	104.43 ± 30.75
IL-2 (ng/mL)	0.602 ± 0.255	0.445 ± 0.112	0.602 ± 0.351	0.693 ± 0.305	0.618 ± 0.141

Values are expressed as the mean±SD,

^aP<0.05 vs control group,

^bP<0.01 vs HCl-FHC group.
