TABLE 3.
Survival of S. prolificans-infected mice treated with saline (control), POS, GM-CSF, or the combination of POS and GM-CSF
| Treatment | No. of dead mice/no. of infected mice | Mean survival time (days)a | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saline (control) | 36/36 | 7.00 ± 0.35 | |
| POS | 25/32 | 7.34 ± 0.35 | NSb |
| GM-CSF | 23/33 | 8.00 ± 0.32 | 0.08 |
| POS-GM-CSF | 29/34 | 7.32 ± 0.33 | NS |
a
All values are expressed as the means ± standard errors of the means. Differences in mean survival times between POS-, GM-CSF-, or POS-GM-CSF-treated and saline-treated (control) mice were evaluated by the log rank test.
b
NS, no significant difference from the results for saline-treated mice.
