Experimental group	Sample

	18 days	22 days	27 days
Tumour control	8 ± 2^a	17 ± 5^ab	13 ± 4^ac
P(+) 2d	27 ± 6^bd	38 ± 5^d	19 ± 6^bc
P(-) 2d	34 ± 6^d	10 ± 2^ac	8 ± 2^a
P(+) 7d	8 ± 2^a	57 ± 7^e	61 ± 10^e

Results are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation of the number of apoptotic cells counted in 10 fields at 100 × magnification (cells/10 fields). Means for each cytokine (IL-10 or IL-6) without a common letter differ significantly (P < 0.05).
