Days post-inoculation | Mouse strain | Total cell count (× 105)(a) | Differential counts (%) | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Macrophages | Lymphocytes | Neutrophils | |||
2 | LTα−/− | 2.91 ± 1.59 | 97.60 ± 0.89 | 2.00 ± 1.00 | 0.40 ± 0.55 |
LTα+/+ | 1.96 ± 0.31 | 98.80 ± 0.84 | 0.40 ± 0.55 | 0.80 ± 0.84 | |
4 | LTα−/− | 3.02 ± 0.76 | 95.20 ± 3.27 | 2.40 ± 1.52 | 2.40 ± 1.82 |
LTα+/+ | 2.70 ± 0.55 | 94.80 ± 6.76 | 0.20 ± 0.45 | 5.00 ± 6.82 |
(a) The total leukocyte counts are expressed as absolute numbers, and differential counts are expressed as percentages. All data are mean ± standard deviation (n = 5) in each group at each time point. No significant differences were observed between LTα−/− and LTα+/+ mice at any time point.
