Figure 2From: Heterogeneity of respiratory dendritic cell subsets and lymphocyte populations in inbred mouse strainsInbred mouse strains exhibit similar numbers of total respiratory leukocytes, macrophages, DC, BAL but different granulocyte numbers. Flow cytometry analysis of lung homogenate and BAL indicates no significant strain differences of total respiratory leukocytes (A), macrophage (B), and dendritic cell (DC; C) frequencies as well as BAL leukocyte numbers (D) and BAL macrophage frequencies (E). Neutrophil (F) and eosinophil frequencies (G) exhibit significant strain heterogeneity as indicated. Results are representative for n≥ 8 (A, B, C, F, G) or n ≥ 5 (D, E) independent animals per strain (mean ± SEM; *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001).Back to article page
