Small intestinal tissue lymphocyte and monocyte numbers (×106/g tissue)
| Group | Lymphocytes | Monocytes |
|---|---|---|
| Lymphocytes and monocytes were identified by fluorescence activated cell sorting analysis of digested small intestine, as described in the methods, using anti-CD3 and anti-F4/80 monoclonal antibodies, respectively. n = 3–4. | ||
| LPS, lipopolysaccharide; FerDR, mice homozygous for the kinase inactivating D743R mutation. | ||
| Significant difference (*p<0.05) from saline challenged wild-type mice. | ||
| Wild-type: saline challenge | 1.0 (0.02) | 3.1 (0.4) |
| Wild-type: LPS challenge | 1.7 (0.1)* | 2.7 (0.1) |
| FerDR: saline challenge | 1.8 (0.4) | 3.2 (0.9) |
| FerDR: LPS challenge | 2.9 (0.8) | 3.5 (1.0) |
