From: T-cell tolerance and exhaustion in the clearance of Echinococcus multilocularis: role of inoculum size in a quantitative hepatic experimental model

Figure 2

Hepatic lesion size and inflammatory infiltration in mice infected with different E. multilocularis PSC inocula during the course of infection. (a) Liver lesion area determined by microscopic measuring of H&E-stained tissue sections, and expressed as square micrometers (μm2). (b) Total number of hepatic mononuclear cells (MNCs). LD: 50 PSCs; MD: 500 PSCs; HD: 2000 PSCs. Data are shown as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM, 5–6 mice per group), *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001.
