Except for slightly lower levels of K8 gene expression (Figure 1(Fb)), no significant changes in mRNA levels for K7 (Figure 1(Fa)), K18 (Figure 1(Fc)), K19 (Figure 1(Fd)) or K20 (Figure 1(Fe)) were detected in the acute murine DSS-colitis samples. The gene discussed is KRT19; the disease is colitis.
