Time-course analysis of GO preclinical fecal microbiota during the immunization protocol. Box and whisker plots of alpha diversity such as Chao (a) and Shannon (b) indices showed differences over time. c Phylum dynamics over time and between immunizations. Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were the most abundant phyla, showing differences with time and immunizations. Significant differences among timepoints have been observed at the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, in particular between the baseline T0 and the last timepoint T4, but not related to immunization. A significant difference in the ratio was observed after 3 weeks from the first injection (T1) between βgal and TSHR. P values: * P ≤ 0.05; ** P = 0.01
