Figure 5

Negative relationship of toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated responses with Heligmosomoides polygyrus abundance. A) Scatter of first principal component (PC1I) scores from a principal components analysis (PCA) of log-transformed TLR-mediated responses against log-transformed H. polygyrus abundance. Least squares regression line shown for reference. B) Scatter of log-transformed total TLR-mediated tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) response (summed across all six TLR variables), TIR, against log-transformed H. polygyrus abundance. Least squares regression line shown for reference. C) General linear mixed model prediction of the relationship (solid line) between log-transformed H. polygyrus abundance and log-transformed total TNF-α production. Dashed lines indicate 1 standard error above and below.
