TABLE 1.
Number of B cells per BLV-induced syncytium in cocultures of ovine PBMC and F-81 indicator cells
| Exptl group | Time post-BLV challenge (no. of PBMC)b | No. of B cells/syncytiuma |
|---|---|---|
| Pre- and post-BLV STEC | 3 wk (106) | (2.0 ± 0.8)c × 105 |
| Post-BLV STEC | (1.9 ± 0.6) × 105 | |
| BLV without STEC | (1.4 ± 0.5)c × 105 | |
| Pre- and post-BLV STEC | 3 mo (105) | (13.0 ± 0.3)c × 103 |
| Post-BLV STEC | (8.7 ± 2.4) × 103 | |
| BLV without STEC | (3.2 ± 0.7)c × 103 |
a
Values are means ± SEMs of five F-81/PBMC cocultures.
b
Number of cells used per F-81/PBMC coculture.
c
These values were significantly different by analysis of variance (P < 0.05).
