Fig 5. Comparison of immune function variables measured in debilitated loggerhead sea turtles (DTs) before and during rehabilitation and compared to healthy loggerhead turtles (means and one standard deviation).

Each turtle group on the x-axis was significantly different (p<0.05 or p<0.00883 for repeated measures) from groups represented by letters above data. (A) lymphocyte proliferation with ConA; (B) lymphocyte proliferation with PHA; (C) respiratory burst with Ca ionophore; and (D) lysozyme activity. Lines represent an individual turtle through rehabilitation. For samples sizes in each diagram, please refer to S4 Table.
