Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Rabbits were treated with subcutaneous injections of ten doses of 5 × 10 3 units of human recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2) during a first infestation with five adult pairs Ixodes ricinus per rabbit, while untreated controls were infested by either five (direct control) or 25 pairs (resistant control) per rabbit. During the second infestation with 25 pairs per rabbit in each group, rabbits treated with IL-2 became more resistant than the rabbits in the two untreated control groups. Stronger resistance was manifested by lower engorgement and egg laying weights, and by smaller numbers of normally fed or ovipositioning ticks. IL-2 treatment had no significant effects on the rabbit anti-tick antibody production and the lymphocyte proliferation to a salivary gland extract (SGE). By contrast. the highest cutaneous responses to SGE were observed in the IL-2 treated group. IL-2 may increase rabbit cell-mediated immunity, and stimulate an increase in the production of memory cells during the induction phase of the immune response (first infestation), allowing the development of a strong resistance in lightly infested rabbits.
