Gut barrier function in WT and HB-EGF TG mice. Gut barrier function was determined by measuring serum FITC-dextran (mg/ml) levels 4 h after gastric administration of FITC-dextran. HB-EGF TG and WT pups that were treated with CRM197 received 5 mg/kg injected subcutaneously immediately after birth. *p<0.05. Gut barrier function was measured; immediately after birth in WT pups (n=24) and TG pups (n=22); after 24h of surrogate breast feeding with no exposure to stress in WT/BF (n=7) and WT/BF+CRM (n=22) pups; and after exposure to stress for 24h in WT (n=14), TG (n=9) and TG+CRM197 pups (n=9).
