Immune cell numbers in avian whole blood over the course of infection. Avian whole blood from the chicken lines WLA (left) and R11 (right) was infected ex-vivo with C. albicans, S. aureus, or E. coli for 240 min. Absolute numbers were determined for the different immune cell populations using flow cytometry and are depicted in percentage of the numbers at 0 min: Monocytes (A,F), heterophils (B,G), B cells (C,H), T cells (D,I), and thrombocytes (E,J). Data of six independent experiments using blood from different donors is presented as mean and SD. *indicates significant difference compared to 0 min (p < 0.05) with the color representing the respective condition: Blue: non-infected blood, purple: E. coli, green: S. aureus, red: C. albicans.
