Linear Mixed Models with log₁₀-Transformation Reveal Complex Immune Cell Dynamics Occurring in the Lung Following Bleomycin-Induced Lung Injury

Plot of back transformed, fitted cell counts (line represents mean ± 95% confidence intervals) using the simplified mixed model [SalineDay + Substrain ~ 1|Exp_ID] of LOG_x+1 transformed cell counts for BALF (counts∙10⁵) and lung tissue (counts∙10⁴/mg tissue). Animal numbers were in BALF in total n = 159 (Saline 60; 3d 23; 14d 39; 21d 37) and in lung in total n = 144 (Saline 56; 3d 23; 14d 32; 21d 33). See also Figure S3 for model comparisons and Figure S4 for modeling of all 16 cell populations separated by strain.
