Reversal of the irradiation-lowered levels of occludin in the intestine of LR-IFN-β-gavaged irradiated mice. Increased occludin in the intestine of LR-IFN-β-gavaged irradiated mice. (A) Sagittal sections of intestine stained for occludin for each group (n = 5). Green stain is for occluding, while blue stain Dapi stain for nuclear DNA. Red arrow is point to the cells expressing occludins. (B) Quantitation of occluding-positive villi in 100 cross-sections of ileum from each group (×200) (n = 5). (12 Gy TBI). The * represents a significant difference between the treatment group and 0 Gy. The # represents a significant difference between the treatment group and 12 Gy + LR-IFN-β.
