a, b Irf1–/– and control mice were infected with C. rodentium. a Total RNA of distal colonic tissue (8 dpi) was analyzed by specific qRT-PCR. (Il17,Ifng: Irf1+/–: n = 8, Irf1–/–: n = 7; Il22: Irf1+/–: n = 12, Irf1-/–: n = 9). b Serum-concentrations of IL-17A, IFN-γ and IL-22 were measured by specific ELISAs. (IL-17: Irf1+/–: n = 10, Irf1-/–: n = 11; IFN-γ: Irf1+/–: n = 10, Irf1–/–: n = 10; IL-22: Irf1+/–: n = 12, Irf1–/–: n = 8). c, d, e Irf1ΔTie2 and littermate control mice were infected with C. rodentium. c Total RNA of distal colonic tissue (8 dpi) was analyzed by specific qRT-PCR. (Il17: Irf1fl/fl: n = 14, Irf1ΔTie2: n = 12;,Ifng: Irf1fl/fl: n = 13, Irf1ΔTie2: n = 12; Il22 Irf1fl/fl: n = 12, Irf1ΔTie2: n = 13). d Serum-concentrations of IL-17A, IFN-γ and IL-22 were measured by specific ELISAs. (IL-17: n = 14/group, IFN-γ: Irf1fl/fl: n = 13, Irf1ΔTie2: n = 12, IL-22: Irf1fl/fl: n = 12, Irf1ΔTie2: n = 14). e Serum-concentrations of IL-17A, IFN-γ and IL-22 were measured by specific ELISAs. (IL-17, IL-22: Irf1fl/+ Tie2cre+: n = 5/group, Irf1fl/fl Tie2cre+: n = 6, IFN-γ: Irf1fl/+ Tie2cre+: n = 5, Irf1fl/fl Tie2cre+: n = 5). f Chimeric mice were generated by reconstitution of irradiated C57BL/6 mice with Irf1+/+ or Irf1–/– bone marrow. 8 weeks later, chimeras were infected with C. rodentium and serum-concentrations of IL-17A, IFN-γ and IL-22 were measured by specific ELISAs (9 dpi). (IL-17, IFN-γ: Irf1+/+: n = 8, Irf1–/–: n = 3; IL-22: Irf1+/+: n = 10, Irf1–/–: n = 4). Data is expressed as mean ± SEM. Exact p values defined by two-tailed Mann–Whitney U test are provided in the plots. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
