Table 3. Principal-component loadings after varimax rotation for seven different measures of innate and adaptive immunity (group 1, N = 64).
ESR, HCT and H/L correlate with PC1 (26.2% of total variation), PHA in nestlings and BKA correlate with PC2 (18% of total variation) and PHA first and second response in adults correlate with PC3 (18% of total variation).

| PHA (adults) 2nd response | −0.074 | 0.103 | 0.791 |
| ESR | 0.835 | 0.193 | 0.071 |
| Variance per component (%) | 26.238 | 18.741 | 18.055 |
