Weight and survival curves.

Four experiments are shown. The weight curves show the average weight (Experiment 1) or the percentage of the individual weight for each group, considering the initial weight of each mouse was 100% (Experiments 2-4; squares for BM alone, triangles for Tg negative, circles for IL-2-tk, and inverted triangles for IL-4-tk splenocyte recipients). Empty symbols and dashed lines indicate control PBS, and the solid symbols and lines indicate GCV-treated groups. Asterisks or stars indicate that the difference between the GCV-treated and control groups are statistically significant (P < .05, 2-tailedt test) (in Experiment 1* for IL-2-tk, * for IL-4-tk group). The survival curves show the percentage of survival in each group. TheP values are from chi-square test, comparing the GCV-treated and control group.
