VSL#3 does not significantly impact inflammation in AOM/Il10−/− mice.
(a) Distal and (b) proximal colon histologic inflammation scores, mean + SEM, 13–14 mice/group, pairwise comparisons by two-tailed Student t test. (c) Colonic cytokine mRNA expression of four individual SPF + VSL#3 mice relative to mean expression of four mice in the SPF group; line at median. Data analysis was performed with SABioscience RT2 Profiler PCR Array Data Analysis version 3.4 using the ΔΔCt method and two-tailed Student t test.
