Figure 8

Percentage of PMN labelled for (a) IL-1β mRNA and (b) IL-8 mRNA in the three types of lesion. Similar to the MN in Figure 6, the percentage of PMN containing these cytokine mRNAs shows a 3-hr peak. Then, the percentage of labelled PMN declines in the reinfection BCG lesions and tuberculin reactions, but remains somewhat elevated in the primary BCG lesions, again similar to the MN in Figure 6. Each point represents the mean of four lesions with its standard error: for reinfection BCG lesions versus primary BCG: *P < 0·05, **P < 0·01 and ***P < 0·001.
