Lung cell recruitment was analysed by mean percentage ± SD of each cell population in total lung cells by fluorescence-activated cell sorting in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice after 2 days intranasal infection with 8000 inclusion-fomring units of Chlamydia muridarum

	Uninfected		Infected
	C57/BL6	BALB/c	C57/BL6	BALB/c
Natural killer cell	16·5 ± 0·5	13·7 ± 0·4	16·9 ± 1·9	17·9 ± 1·7
Myeoid denritic cell	0·1 ± 0·1	0·2 ± 0·01	2·9 ± 0·5	1·5 ± 0·05*
Neutrophil	2·0 ± 0·03	3·3 ± 0·3	25·8 ± 2·1	36·8 ± 3·7*
Macrophage	3·3 ± 0·5	1·6 ± 0·2	16·4 ± 1·2	8·4 ± 0·5*

Three individual mice in each group. One representative experiment of two independent trials with similar results is shown. Numbers in bold represent statistically significant values when C57/BL6 and BALB/c were compared.
