Expansion of peritoneal cells in C57BL/6 mice. Mice were injected subcutaneously at a dose of 1 nmole/g body weight of svL4, sv6D or svC1. Cells in each population recovered in a peritoneal lavage are expressed as cell counts (in thousands). Cells from three mice in each treatment group were pooled for analysis. The number of cells in each population was normalized to the average recovery of total cells from all groups. For each cell type, the left-hand, middle and right-hand set of bars represent samples from mice treated with svL4, sv6D or svC1, respectively. Mice were injected on days 0, 2 and 4, and cells were collected 24 h after each injection. Day 1, open bar; day 3, grey bar; day 5, black bar. Populations that express activation markers are indicated by an asterisk
