Figure 4. Histopathology scoring.
Histopathology scores of sections of ileocecocolic junctions from C57BL/6 IL-10−/−, C57BL/6 IL-10+/+, NOD IL-10−/−, NOD IL-10+/+, C3BirIL-10−/−, and C3H/HeJ IL-10+/+ mice inoculated with Campylobacter jejuni 11168 or sham inoculated with tryptone soy broth and sacrificed 30 days after infection. The bar labeled “TSB” shows data for all control mice in each experiment. Panel A, experiment 1 with all three mouse genotypes; Panel B, experiment 2 with C3Bir IL-10−/− and C3H/HeJ IL-10+/+ mice; Panel C, experiment 3 with NOD IL-10−/−, NOD IL-10+/− mice, and NOD IL-10+/+ mice. Boxes enclose data falling within the second and third quartiles of the distributions; the heavy bar within each box indicates the median of the distribution; whisker bars indicate the maximum and minimum values observed.
