• by the fourth day consuming drinking water containing 1% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), homozygous mutant mice exhibit severe intestinal bleeding
• by the fourth day on 1% DSS, mice homozygous for this mutation exhibit greater weight loss than wild-type C57BL/6J controls; on day 5, they have lost 16% more weight than controls
• homozygous mutant mice die after 5 days' exposure to DSS
