Intestinal alkaline phosphatase in the colonic mucosa of children with inflammatory bowel disease

Figure 1 Protein levels of intestinal alkaline phosphatase in the colonic mucosa of children with newly diagnosed Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and controls. A: Western blotting analysis of the colonic biopsy specimens using intestinal alkaline phosphatase (iAP)-specific antibody reveals one distinct band at 60 kDa; B: Data for protein levels of iAP were obtained by computerized analysis of the Western blottings and expressed as median interquartile range. Analysis of significance was performed by the Mann-Whitney U test. ^aP < 0.05 vs control; ^dP < 0.01 vs non-inflamed CD; ^eP < 0.05 vs UC. CD: Crohn’s disease; UC: Ulcerative colitis.
