Figure 5. Development of blood leukocyte subsets and plasma components during the first four weeks of life in preterm and near-term pigs.

Figure 5

(a) Absolute neutrophil counts. (b) Absolute lymphocyte counts. (c) Frequency of immature (CD172a+ SSChigh 6D10+ 2B2-) and mature neutrophils (CD172a+ SSChigh 6D10+ 2B2+) in total blood leukocytes. (d) The ratio of immature neutrophils in total number of neutrophils (I/T ratio). (e,f) Plasma CRP and IgG levels. A sub-population of preterm (n = 34–92) and term pigs (n = 12–21) was analyzed. Values of the same parameter during the four weeks not sharing similar letters are significantly different (P < 0.01 for a,b, P < 0.05 for c–f). *P < 0.05, compared between preterm vs. near-term pigs at the same time period.
