Pathways with genes differentially expressed in Il10-/- mice in response to the 1) SPF, 2) C, 3) EF, 4) CIF and 5) EF·CIF treatments when compared with similarly-inoculated C57 mice. Fold-change and P-values for genes in the top 10 most significant canonical pathways as identified by Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (using Fischer's exact test, as shown in Table 5 within the main text). For those comparisons where there was a significant difference between Il10-/- and C57 mice, the text is shown in italics.
