More severe intestinal injury in TCRδ^−/− mice was associated with increased TNFα and decreased IL17A gene expression.

<p>Gene expression of TNFα and IL17A as measured by quantitative RT-PCR in distal small intestinal sections obtained from dam fed wild type (WT control) or TCRδ^−/− (tcrδ^−/− control) mice; or wild type (WT PAF/LPS) or TCRδ^−/− (tcrδ^−/− PAF/LPS) mice subjected to experimental gut injury injury as described. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments with at least 3 mice per condition per experiment (*p<0.05).
