Fig 1. STAT6-deficient mice do not show any deficiency in Chlamydia clearance.

(A) IFUs isolated from vaginal swabs at various time points after infection. For wild-type mice n = 10, STAT6-deficient mice n = 10, and MHC class II-deficient mice n = 5. Data is combined from two experiments, with the MHC class II-deficient group included in one experiment. Graph is displayed as mean ± SEM. Wild-type versus STAT6-deficient groups are not significantly different. For wild-type versus MHC class II-deficient groups p<0.05 on days 9–45. For STAT6-deficient versus MHC class II-deficient groups p<0.05 on days 7–45 (mixed-effects analysis). Dashed line represents limit of detection. (B) Data from A expressed as the percent of mice with culture positive vaginal swabs.
