Figure 2. FACS analyses show that NEC selectively diminishes levels of blood monocytes.
Leukocytes were isolated from whole blood collected from BALB/c mice (n = 6) before and 30 min after oral administration of NEC (1 g/kg). A, FACS analyses of leukocytes measuring the expression of cell surface markers: T-cells (CD3, CD4, or CD8), B-cells (B220), or monocytes (F4/80). * p≤0.05 versus time zero. B, Representative FACS analysis of F4/80+ expression.
