Infiltration of immune cells in small intestinal wall. C57BL/6 N mice underwent SID or a sham operation prior to 18G CASP. After 24 h the small intestine was physically dissolved and the cell suspension was stained for macrophages (A) (F4/80+), (B) dendritic cells (CD11c+), (C) B-cells (CD19+), (D) T-cells (CD3+) and (E) Treg-cells (CD3+,CD4+,FoxP3+) and analyzed using flow cytometry. N = 5 to 6(mice that have died before or during CASP procedure, as well as a technical failure have been excluded); Mann–Whitney U-Test; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
