Figure 2. Lung gross pathology in C57BL/6 and P2X7R−/− mice on day 28 p.i. with hypervirulent mycobacteria.

Figure 2

C57BL/6 and P2X7R−/− mice were infected i.t. with approx. 100 bacilli of H37Rv Mtb, Beijing 1471 Mtb and MP287/03 Mbv. Non-infected mice were used as controls. (A) Representative images of the right lungs are shown. (B) Right lung weights and (C) relative masses (circles) were evaluated (n = 9). The mean values are represented by horizontal lines. The relative lung masses were calculated by the ratios of the mean values of the lung weights in the indicated groups and the control group. Significant differences were observed for the indicated groups (**p<0.01 and ***p<0.001). The data are representative of three separate experiments.
