FIG. 5.
Levels of jejunal rat mast cell protease II (RMCP-II) at 50 days p.i. in infected and uninfected rats. RMCP-II levels (ng/ml/mg protein) in jejunal tissues were measured by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Compared to control uninfected rats, the RMCP-II jejunal levels were found to be significantly higher only in NoI-infected rats at day 50 p.i. Values are means ± the SEM (n = 6 in each group). ***, P < 0.001 (significantly different, as calculated by one-way ANOVA).
