However, the magnitude of difference in IL-2 levels secreted by untreated vs anti-GM-CSF antibody treated macrophages is much higher at day 7 post infection (almost 10 fold: 30 picograms vs 300 picograms) (Figure 5B) as compared to the magnitude of difference in cell viability of untreated vs anti-GM-CSF antibody treated macrophages (less than 2 fold) (Figure 3E) at day 7 post infection. Here, CSF2 is linked to infection.
