Data are means ± standard deviations. The antigen level in the lung means the number of positive cells per unit area (0.95 mm2). The antigen level in the lymph node means the number of positive cells per unit area (0.25 mm2). Different letters (a, b, and c) indicate significant (P < 0.05) differences between groups.
