| Group | Foxp3+ Cells, %/HPF |
|---|---|
| Control saline | |
| 1 day + 7 days | 16.3, 20.7 |
| 7 days | 15.3 |
| 1 day | 18.6 |
| Composite | 17.8±2.3 |
| IL-1α | |
| 1 day | 3.6±3.6* |
| 3 days | 4.0±3.6* |
| 7 days | 12.6±3.0 |
| 1 day + 7 days | 19.4±6.4 |
Individual value are shown for control animals; other values are means ± SD. Immunohistology for Foxp3 was done using paraffin-embedded sections of posterior mediastinal lymph nodes. HPF, high-power field.
