PSI, proximal small intestine; PGD, preputial gland duct. In these studies we did not include females, in which the clitoral gland is the equivalent of the preputial gland. Statistical values were calculated by chi-square analysis and Student’s two-tailed t-test.

One mouse of this genotype showed a micro adenoma of the PSI that was found to express high IgG and IgM levels.
