Fig. 1: Colitis phenotypes.

Groups of 5 mice of each line were evaluated concerning DAI evolution (A) percentage weight loss (B) colon length (C) and survival (D) after seven days of access to pure water (AIRminRRC and AIRminSSC) or 2.5% DSS (AIRminRR and AIRminSS). The values shown are the means ± SEM from 3 different experiments with five animals in each group. Comparisons between DSS-treated AIRminSS and AIRminRR (#), or between DSS and water-treated mice (*) using ANOVA, p < 0.05.
