FIG 7.

Survival of, and corneal scarring in, ocularly infected mice. Twelve to 41 mice per group were ocularly infected as for Fig. 6. Mouse survival was followed for 4 weeks. Survival analysis was based on 22 of 22 mice in the type 2 ILC-deficient group, 21 of 25 mice in the WT group, 8 of 12 mice in the type 1 ILC-deficient group, and 24 of 41 mice in the type 3 ILC-deficient group. The P value was determined using a chi-square test. CS was assessed in surviving mice on day 28 p.i. based on a scale of 0 (no scarring) to 4 (severe ulcer). CS was assessed in 42 eyes from WT mice, 16 eyes from type 1 ILC-deficient mice, 44 eyes from type 2 ILC-deficient mice, and 48 eyes from type 3 ILC-deficient mice. The CS score is presented as the mean ± SEM. The P value was determined using one-way ANOVA. (A) Survival in infected mice. (B) CS in surviving mice.
