Mucus penetrability in wild-type (WT; n=5) and interleukin 10-deficient (IL-10^−/−; n=5) mice. (A) Representative Z-stack projections with the respective normalised intensity plots. Scale bars 100 µm. (B) Percentage of the total bead intensity in close proximity to the epithelial surface (40 µm). Differences between the groups were analysed using a two-tailed Mann–Whitney U test. (C) Relation between penetrable and impenetrable mucus. The black part of the bar represents impenetrable mucus and the green part mucus containing the 2 µm beads (ie, penetrable).
