Transepithelial resistance (TER) in Caco-2 wild-type (wt) and occludin knockout during cell differentiation monitored over 2 weeks. The TER measurements revealed increasing TER values both in the wt and knockout Caco-2 cells over 5 days (a), 9 days (b) and 13 days (c). However, the values in the occludin knockout cells were always slightly below wt levels, indicating a significant permeability defect in the knockout. n = 15, p < 0.05 (*), Mann–Whitney test. Data represented mean ± SEM
