Flow cytometric analysis of stimulation-induced shape-change in milk granulocytes. Cells were separated from stimulated and non-stimulated milk samples, stained with antibodies for CD163 and CD44, and analyzed using flow cytometry. (A) Granulocytes were identified as SSC^highCD44⁺CD163^- cells within the SSC^high cells. (B) Histograms showing the mean SSC values for unstimulated and stimulated cells. (C) Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated and presented for stimulated and unstimulated cells; * indicates statistically significant differences between the groups (n = 7 camels; p values less than 0.05).
