Further, whereas infected Camp+/+ and Camp−/- mice had comparable histopathology (Figure 1c), expression of the cell damage marker lipocalin 2 (Figure 1d) and reductions in cecum weight (Fig S1B), only infected Camp+/+ mice displayed increased crypt hyperplasia (Figure 1e) and decreased colon length (figure 1f) as prominent hallmarks of colitis. This evidence concerns the gene LCN2 and colitis.
