Figure 2. Quantitative real-time results for the expression of Pla2g2a (A), CD14 (B) Gbp1 (C) and Ang4 (2D) in the colonic mucosa of previously germ-free C3H and C57BL/10 mice 13 weeks after association with the same bacterial inoculum.

RNA from three single mice per group and pooled RNA from the remaining C3H and C57BL/10 mice, respectively were used. Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (Hprt1) and ribosomal protein L13a (Rpl13a) expression were selected for data normalization and tested for tested for statistical significance (* < 0.05) with the Mann-Whitney test.
