Figure 5

Epithelial permeability is increased in both wild-type and TNFα deficient mice. A. Mucosae from jejunum of C57BL/6 mice were mounted in modified snap-well chambers and electrical resistance measured every 30 minutes. Two pieces of tissue were analyzed / mouse and 5 mice / group were analyzed. Data are presented as means and S.D. * p<0.05 by student t-test. B. Electrical resistance was measured as in A for infected and uninfected wild-type and TNFα deficient B6X129 F2 mice. Three pieces of tissue were analyzed / mouse and 4 mice / group were analyzed. Data shown are for the 90 minute measurement. Mice in B were 6 weeks of age and those in A were 12 weeks, likely explaining the lower TEER values seen in uninfected mice in B.
