Values appearing as exponents represent the number of animals used to generate the data listed in the table. The numbers in parentheses are the standard deviations associated with the values listed. Differential cell numbers are the calculated averages derived from percent determinations of each cell type for individual animals. All differential percentages were based on ⩾200 cells. N.D., not detected. +/+, C57BL/6J mice. Lym, lymphocyte. Mono, monocyte. Eos, eosinophil. Neu, neutrophil. Ery, erythroblast.
