Nod2−/− mice were either single-housed (n=5) or co-housed at a 1:1 ratio with Nod2+/+ mice (n=5) on the same diet for a 4-week period. A: % of LP CD4+LAP+ cells in the single-housed or co-housed mice. *p<0.05 by Student’s t test. B: Body weight changes; each point represents mean ±SE weight at indicated times expressed as percentage of day 0 weight. *p<0.05 by Student’s t test. C: Histological appearance of representative colons of mice sacrificed at day 3 after TNBS administration; H&E staining, 40× magnification. Colitis score: * p<0.05 by Student’s t test
