Flow cytometry analysis of the peritoneal exudate cells from Ehrlichia-infected mice. (A) Flow cytometry gate strategy for the analysis of the peritoneal exudate cells were carried out as in Fig. 1. CD3-negative cells were plotted as CD11b × F4/80 for the analysis of peritoneal macrophages defined as F4/80+CD11b+ cells. (B) F4/80+CD11b+ cells were also addressed for the intracellular expression of iNOS as represented by flow histograms. Values represent percentages in the assigned regions. Quantification of the analyzed cell sub-populations in the different studied groups, naive, E. muris (EM) and Ixodes Ovatus Ehrlichia (IOE) are shown in each case. Values are expressed as mean and standard deviation of percentage. Asterisks represent relevant statistical difference between groups. Data is representative of three experimental sets performed individually with n = at least three mice per group in each experimental run.
