Figure 3From: Sub-chronic lung inflammation after airway exposures to Bacillus thuringiensis biopesticides in miceCells in BAL fluid at different time points after instillation of biopesticide. Mean number of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from mice (n = 10 per group) 4 hours, 24 hours or 4 days after intratracheal instillation of Vectobac® or Dipel® biopesticide. Instilled doses of biopesticide were 3.4 × 106 CFU/mouse for Vectobac® and 3.5 × 105 CFU/mouse for Dipel®. Sterile water served as vehicle and was used for dilutions. For each mouse, 200 cells were counted and differentiated. Values are means with SEM.Back to article page
