Colonic mucin-2 expression in C. jejuni infected secondary abiotic Nod2−/− mice. Secondary abiotic wildtype (WT; white circles) and Nod2−/− mice (black circles) were generated by broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment and perorally infected with C. jejuni strain 81-176 by gavage at day (d) 0 and d1. Mucin-2 (MUC2) mRNA levels were determined in colonic ex vivo biopsies at day 7 postinfection by Real Time PCR and expressed in Arbitrary Units (fold expression). Naive (N) secondary abiotic mice served as uninfected controls. Medians (black bars), level of significance (p-value) determined by Mann–Whitney U test and numbers of analyzed animals (in parentheses) are indicated. Data were pooled from four independent experiments
