  1. Data are expressed as median (Q1-Q3) (n = 8–15)
  2. Lymphocytes were characterized with flow cytometry for respective T-lymphocytes (CD3+), T-helper (CD3+ CD4+), Cytotoxic T cell (CD3+ CD8+) and B-cell (CD19+) populations
  3. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01 for control vs. whole-body and $p < 0.05 for nose-only vs. whole-body
