1. GALT: Gut associated lymphoid tissue.
2. Values are given as mean ± S.E.M. Unpaired Student’s test.
3. aIndicates p = 0.008,
4. bp = 0.032,
5. dp = 0.032 and
6. ep = 0.032 vs corresponding wild type group.
7. cIndicates p = 0.032 vs CftrΔF508/ΔF508/Kcnn4−/−; 80 to 120 400x optical fields per animal were analysed and n = 4–5 animals per group were used.
