Project name: Mus musculus

Description: We observed that deletion of polyketide synthase (pks) from E. coli NC101 reduces its ability to induce tumors in interleukin-10 knockout (Il10-/-) mice injected with azoxymethane (AOM), without altering histologic inflammation. The goal of this experiment is to assess inflammatory cytokine levels in colonic tissue of these mice.Overall design: 2 germ-free Il10-/- mice were assayed and used as controls. 3 E. coli NC101 and 3 E. coli NC101-delta-pks monoassociated mice were experimental samples.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression
