From: Effects of hMASP-2 on the formation of BCG infection-induced granuloma in the lungs of BALB/c mice
The 21-day survival rate of BCG-infected BALB/c mice with or without rAd-hMASP-2 treatment. BALB/c mice were intratracheally subjected to BCG and they were treated intratracheally with rAd-hMASP-2, rAd-EGFP or dexamethasone, respectively. The survival time and rate were recorded for 21 days in various groups. Statistically significant difference as compared with various groups by Pearson Chi-square test, n = 10 per group, P = 0.037. As compared with the rAd-EGFP group, rAd-hMASP-2 group showed statistically significant difference, n = 10 per group, P = 0.042. Data collected from ten mice per group were expressed as means ± SD.
