Summary

The study aims to explore the relationships between inflammation, nerve changes, and the expression of interferon-stimulated proteins in inflamed and non-inflamed bowel areas from patients with Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition with complex causes and mechanisms that remain uncertain despite extensive research. Methods and Procedures This exploratory study utilizes tissue samples from a clinical biobank at Aalborg University Hospital. The samples are paraffin-embedded blocks from which tissue sections are prepared for immunohistochemical and histological staining. The study focuses on assessing the expression of interferon-stimulated proteins through optimized immunohistochemical staining methods, ensuring reproducibility via automated machines. The protein expressions are then analyzed qualitatively and semi-quantitatively and compared with structural changes in the bowel tissues.
