Figure 1.

The effect of EGFR mAb treatment combined with EGF enema in the IBD model in vivo. (A) Line-graph showing changes in body weight of mice (n=3 per group) in control, AOM/DSS model, model with EGF enema and model with EGF enema and EGFR mAb treatment. Treatment time and cycles are mentioned. (B) Bar-graph showing changes in weight of colon tissues (grams) among control, AOM/DSS model, model with EGF enema and model with EGF enema and EGFR mAb treatment. Data is presented as mean ± SEM. * indicates comparison to the initial body weight (Week 0), and # denotes comparison to the body weight at Week 2. ns; non-significant. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, # P<0.05, ##P<0.01, ###P<0.001
