FIGURE 10.
Quantification of inclusion size of mϕ without and with reversal of growth restriction following IL-10 pre-treatment. The photomicrographs were analyzed with ImageJ for size of individual inclusions, graphed in Microsoft Excel, followed by statistical analysis. Macrophages were treated with human interleukin-10 at 48 h (48 h), at 24 h (24 h) before infection, simultaneously with infection (0 h), or not treated at all with IL-10 (none). Resting macrophages are symbolized by circles, CA mϕ by squares, and AA mϕ by triangles. Means are indicated by horizontal bars. Inclusion size for CA mϕ for 0 h are different than 48 h with statistical significance. p-values equal or less than the significance of 0.1 are symbolized by (#), p-values ≤ 0.05 by one asterisk (∗), p-values ≤ 0.01 are labeled (∗∗), and p-values ≤ 0.002 are referenced as (∗∗∗).
