C57BL/6 × BALB/c F1 mice were intranasally challenged with PBS (uninfected) or 107 CFUs of S. pneumoniae strain EF3030 in a 15 μL volume of Ringer’s solution and treated with either control or anti-CCL5 antibodies. Spleen and cervical lymph node lymphocytes were purified and prepared for cell surface and intracellular flow cytometry analysis 14 days after bacterial challenge. The fold increases ± SEM in the number of (×106) of CD3CD11b+ CD11cHi or CD3 CD11b+ CD11cLo lymphocytes that were CCL5, IL-10, IFN-γ or CCR5 positive are shown. Asterisks (*) indicate statistically significant (p < 0.01) increases between infected over infected local cell subpopulations from three separate experiments with two groups containing 10 mice each.
