From: Ocular surface mucins and local inflammation—studies in genetically modified mouse lines
Muc1 KO mice | Bacterial pathogen-related local tissue inflammation (gastrointestinal tract, airway) |
Muc2 KO mice | Spontaneous colitis, colorectal canser |
Muc5AC KO mice | Intestinal nematode infection |
Muc13 KO mice | More severe dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis |
Muc16 KO mice | Inflammmation (conjunctiva) |
