Peritoneal cell counts and differentials in wild-type and LBP−/− mice with E. coli peritonitisa
| Time (h) | Mice | Total no. of cells × (104/ml) | No. of PMNs × (104/ml) | No. of macrophages × (104/ml) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Wild type | 52 ± 10.2 | 39.2 ± 6.9 | 12.8 ± 3.5 |
| 4 | LBP−/− | 47 ± 4.8 | 22.2 ± 3.6b | 24.8 ± 4.6b |
| 16 | Wild type | 409 ± 56.1 | 343.7 ± 52.3 | 53.8 ± 11.2 |
| 16 | LBP−/− | 143 ± 30.3b | 109.8 ± 21b | 41.9 ± 8.7 |
a
Cell counts for peritoneal lavage samples 4 and 16 h after i.p. infection with E. coli. The values are means ± standard errors of the means for eight or nine mice per strain at each time.
b
P < 0.05 for a comparison with the data for wild-type mice.
