Figure 5. Local cytokine concentrations in the colon of wild-type, MCL^−/−, and DCIR^−/− mice.

Colons from untreated wild-type mice or from wild-type and MCL^−/− mice (n = 6) (A), or wild-type and DCIR^−/− mice (n = 7 for wild-type and n = 8 for DCIR^−/− mice) (B) treated with 3% DSS for seven consecutive days were homogenized and used for cytokine determination by cytometric bead array. Data are expressed as mean + SEM. Significance is indicated by asterisks (*), ns = no significance.
