There were no significant differences in the score for the degree of histological inflammation of the lungs 4 h after inoculation (a median score of 15 for both Apcs−/− and wild-type mice), and although there was an increase in the inflammation score 24 h after infection in the lungs from Apcs−/− mice, with a median score of 70 (IQR 60–80) compared to a median score of 30 (IQR 19–68) for wild-type mice, this did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.48). The gene discussed is APCS; the disease is infection.
