Intestinal Na+-nutrient cotransport depends on claudin-2 and claudin-15 mediated Na+
recycling. Expression of these proteins is coordinately regulated during postnatal
development. While expression of claudin-2 and claudin-15 has been studied in
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and celiac disease (CD), it has not been assessed in
other malabsorptive diseases, and no reports have compared expression in children and
adults. We used quantitative immunofluorescence microscopy to assess claudin-2 and …
