Plasma galectin-9 correlates with MTO in animals not infected with SIV. a Spearman correlation of plasma galectin-9 with MTO in uninfected animals. b and c Changes in MTO and plasma galectin-9 levels, respectively before and after animals received bisphosphonate liposomes via aerosol four days before sample collection, and I.V. one day before sample collection. Before time points represent the average of the available baseline values for each animal. Paired Wilcoxon test p values are indicated, but power analysis for significance was not possible with the few available paired samples. The upper and lower whiskers represent the minimum and maximum data points. The length of the box is the difference between the 75th and 25th percentiles, and the line within the box represents the median. TX = treatment
