Quantitation of inflammatory foci in MCMV infected C57BL/6J (WT) and IL-10−/− livers.

aNumber of foci were quantified in a 400 µm2 total liver area from 8 fields of view (FOV), each FOV with a square area of 50um2 at a magnification of 200. Data are from at least three independent experiments with n = 4–11 mice per group and show the mean numbers of foci per 400 µm2 total liver area ± SE, where p≤0.05 (Student's T test) was considered significant.bNumber of nucleated cells per inflammatory focus was determined by counting individual cells within 20 random foci, under a magnification of 400. Data were combined from at least three experiments (n = 9–11 mice per group for each time point tested) and indicate the mean number of cells per focus ± SE where p≤0.05 (Student's T test) was considered significant.cFoci containing cell numbers of >60 result in less defined foci and results do not indicate SE.
