  1. * All animals that were examined pathologically have been included (15/30 animals).
  2. RA = right apical lobe, RC = right cadiac, RD = right diaphragmatic, amb = ambiguous (aberration from standard band pattern).
  3. The CFT titre is given as the inverse of the highest dilution yielding 100% inhibition of haemolysis.
