Figure 6.

The numbers of macrophages in a 400× field of middle ear (ME) infiltrate. In wild-type (WT) MEs, the number of macrophages peaked at 2–3 days, and very few were observed at 7 days. Substantially fewer macrophages were observed in CCR2−/−/CL MEs than WT MEs on days 2 (P < .05, 2-way analysis of variance) and 3 after infection. On day 7, few macrophages were observed in WT MEs, consistent with the resolution of otitis media, but macrophages remained in the MEs of CCR2−/−/PBS and CCR2−/−/CL mice. HPF, high-power field.
