Summary:
Analysis of whole colon tissue two weeks after C. rodentium infection of IL-10-deficient C57BL/6 females. C. rodentium is a mucosal pathogen that colonizes the colon causing transient mucosal inflammation. Results provide insight into the role of IL-10 in the colonic response to infection.
