Figure 8. SIHUMI mice colonized with both A. muciniphila and S. Typhimurium display reduced mucus sulphation.

Figure 8

Formalin fixed thin sections (4 µm) of cecal tissue of mice belonging to either one of four groups: SIHUMI, SIHUMI-A, SIHUMI-S and SIHUMI-AS (see Figure. 1) were stained with high iron diamine (HID)/AB at pH-2.5 and subsequently analyzed. Brown color indicates sulphated mucins while blue color indicates sialylated mucins. SIHUMI-AS mice display few sulphated mucins compared to the other mouse groups. Magnification 400×. Bars indicate 100 µm.
