Fig 8. NTS and immunisation increase erythroid progenitor cells in the spleen and repress the bone marrow haematopoiesis.

Spleens (A, C) and bone marrow (B, C) of healthy (black bars, n = 5) and immunized (lined bars, n = 5) mice on day 14 as well as mice that either underwent splenectomy (SplX, squared bar, n = 5) or sham-operation (Sham, white bars, n = 5) prior to the induction of NTS were evaluated for erythroid precursors in quantitative flow cytometry on day 14. (A, B) Data are given as means ± SEM. (C) Representative dot plots are shown. *p<0.05, ***p<0.001.
