	%LY	%PMN	%MO
Control	52±3.2	42±3.4	5.4±0.4
Sham	38±3.5	58±3.2	3.4±0.3

On day zero, rats were nasally infected with 1×10⁸ CFU of S. pneumoniae and received control, sham, Ab-LPT, or Th-LPT treatment once daily for days 1 through 3. On day 4, blood was collected and analyzed for leukocyte concentrations. Data are means±SE the percentage of leukocytes. N=8–13 rats per group.
