Clinical score card of mice at 0 hr, 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 72 hrs, and 120 hrs post challenge in posttreated mice (mean ± SE).

Groups	0 hr	24 hrs	48 hrs	72 hrs	120 hrs
Group I	0 ± .00^a,x	0 ± .00^a,x	0 ± .00^a,x	0 ± .00^a,x	0 ± .00^a,x
Group II	0 ± .00^a,x	2 ± .00^b,z	2.5 ± .25^b,y	3.25 ± .25^c,z	3 ± .00^c,z
Group III	0 ± .00^a,x	1.25 ± .25^b,y	1.25 ± .25^b,y	1 ± .25^b,y	.9 ± .00^a,y
