FIG. 4.
Dose-response curve for the inhibitory effect of EPO on the growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The values are the means ± standard deviations of at least three experiments or the means of two experiments. (a) Symbols: ▪, number of CFU after 60 min of incubation at 37°C in the presence of EPO alone; ▵, number of CFU after 60 min of incubation at 37°C in the presence of MPO. (b) Time course of the inhibitory effect of 0.2 μM EPO on the growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv.
