Figure 1. Distinct resident leukocyte population in the female peritoneal cavity.

Figure 1

(A) Increased total resident cell number in peritoneal (n=13 mice; 3 independent groups) and pleural (n=5 mice) cavities of female compared to male mice. (B) Total cell number and (C) percentage of F4/80+ macrophage, CD3+ T-lymphocytes, CD19+ B-lymphocytes and GR1+ granulocytes in peritoneal cavity of male and female mice were determined by flow cytometry (n=7 mice). (D) Increased total resident CD8+ and CD4+ T-lymphocytes but not CD4+/CD25+ T-regulatory or δγ T-lymphocytes in female peritoneal cavity (n=4 mice). All values are expressed as mean ± sem. All comparisons are relative to male. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 by Student’s t-test.
