The effects of DON on the expression of tight junction proteins in the small intestine of broilers. A The mRNA relative expression of ZO-1, Occludin and claudin-1 analysed by qRT-PCR. B The relative expression of Occludin and claudin-1 protein detected by Western Blot. C Immunohistochemistry of the ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1. D The immunohistochemistry quantified results were showed as the average optical density. Scale bar:100 μm. The right image was magnified 1000 times, n = 6 per treatment group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. EC: Epithelial Cells
