Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 2 IL17B deficiency results in exacerbated DSS-induced colitis. WT and Il17b-/- mice were fed with 2.5% DSS water for 6 days. n = 5 - 6 mice/group. (A) Body weights were measured daily and body weight loss relative to initial weight were calculated. Data are presented as mean ± SD. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, evaluated by 2way ANOVA analysis with Sidak`s multiple comparisons test. (B) Colons were removed at day 8 and the colon length was measured. (C) Representative H&E staining of colon tissues. Scale bar: 200 mm. (D) Quantification of histological score from colonic sections in (C, E) The supernatants of colon tissue homogenates were assayed for cytokine by ELISA. For (B, C), data are mean ± SD and are representative of at least 3 independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, evaluated by unpaired t test.
Article Snippet: Recombinant IL17B administration Il17b-/- mice andWTmice were induced colitis by feeding 2.5% or 3% DSS water respectively, and intraperitoneally (I.P.) injected with 0.5 mg of mouse IL17B (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) or PBS.
