Increased susceptibility to Trichuris muris infection and exacerbation of colitis in Mdr1a-/- mice

Figure 1 Mdr1a-/- (KO) mice show increased susceptibility to Trichuris muris infection compared to FVB controls (WT). Data shows large intestinal worm burden measured on day 19 following infection with approximately 200 embryonated Trichuris muris eggs. Each data point represents a single mouse (n = 6 in each group); the horizontal bar denotes the mean for each group. ^bP < 0.01.
