Abstract
Background and Aims: Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) is a gut mucosal defense factor known to dephosphorylate lipopolysaccharide (LPS); however, the role of IAP in the gut response to luminal bacteria remains undefined. We investigated immune responses of wildtype (WT) and IAP-knockout (IAP-KO) mice to LPS and Salmonella typhimurium challenges. Methods: Cryotstat sectioning and standard indirect immunohistochemical staining for MHC Class II molecules were performed on liver tissue from WT and IAP-KO mice.
