The table lists the R values for the correlations between various immune parameters at 0 dpc (e.g., proliferation, IFN-γ production, and differentiation into CD4 memory cells) and the three protective measures (gross pathology, shedding, and viremia) at 14 dpc. While numbers in italics represent non-significant correlations, the bold numbers emphasize significant correlations (p < 0.05).
