Survival of juvenile MMP8 null and wild-type mice following intraperitoneal cecal slurry injections. Wild-type (solid line, n = 26) and MMP8 null (dashed line, n = 30) juvenile mice (12–14 d) received intraperitoneal injections of cecal slurry at 0.5 mg/g and were monitored for survival. MMP8 null mice demonstrated decreased survival after cecal slurry injection (experiment performed 4 times). *p < 0.001 by log rank survival analysis.
