A Effects of pelvic irradiation on claudin 5 (23 kDa) tight junction protein expression in ileum and colon, n = 6–7 per group. B Representative western blot images of claudin 5 and Ponceau S total protein staining, n = 6–7 per group. C Bacterial counts obtained by flow cytometry in mesenteric lymph nodes after (sham-)irradiation, n = 6–7 per group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 by linear modeling.
