Fig 1. Inflammatory status of the CFTR KO mice.

WBC (white blood cells), lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils were measured in the blood of WT and CFTR KO mice (A). Cytokines levels were measured by the V-PLEX Proinflammatory Panel1 (mouse) Kit in the plasma of WT and CFTR KO mice according to the manufacturer’s instruction (B). Duodenal mRNA levels relative to cyclophilin-A expression were assessed by real-time PCR for the indicated genes (C). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. * P<0.05.
