Lymphocytes	6.15±2.48	6.07±2.60	0.938
Monocytes	0.62±0.34	0.97±0.34	0.022
Neutrophils	2.07±0.52	3.50±0.95	0.001
Eosinophils	0.14±0.05	0.53±0.86	0.164

WT (n = 13) and Lcn-2 KO mice (n = 12) were subjected to NTS and followed for 7 days. On day 7 whole blood was analyzed for the white (wbc) and red blood cell count (rbc), for the number of platelets (plt), the hemoglobin levels (hgb), the haematocrit (hct) as well as for the number of lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophil and eosinophil granulocytes. Data are given as mean ± SEM.
