Correlation between the level of MMc and percentage of DTH inhibition. (A) Linear correlation between the percentage of DTH suppression and percentage of positive organs (out of a total of 8 or 9 organs tested per mouse) by qPCR. (B) NIMAd-exposed mice were divided into 2 groups on the basis of percentage of DTH suppression (50% and more and less than 50%) and plotted against the level (GEq/105 cells) of MMc. The y-axis shows average estimated GEq per 105 cells (average of 8 or 9 organs tested per mouse). (C) Percentage of DTH suppression plotted against levels of MMc averaged from 8 or 9 organs tested per mouse. The diagonal lines represent the best fit regression lines. Horizontal lines represent mean values.
