Figure 1. Bacterial Translocation in Tat transgenic mice.

Quantification of bacteria colony forming units in Mesenteric lymph node, Spleen, Liver from Tat+ and Tat− transgenic mice. Data plotted as Mean ± SEM. n = 3. P < 0.05 (Students t test) *Vs Tat− (A). Hematoxylin and Eosin staining of Tat+ and Tat− transgenic mice colon. The muscle wall thickness was measured across several areas on each section and averaged for each colon (B). The bar graph is the average for each colon (n = 4).
