Figure 2From: Characterization of the contributions of Hp-MMP 9 to the serum acute phase protein response of lipopolysaccharide challenged calvesMean ± SD total white blood cell counts, lymphocyte count and neutrophil counts in peripheral blood of Jersey calves immediately prior to and up to 96 hours after an intravenous bolus dose of E. coli LPS (O111:B4; 2.5 ug/Kg solubilized in autologous serum). Plasma WBC were significantly lower than pre-LPS (-24 hr time point) from 0.5 hour - 12 hour time points (p < 00001). Plasma lymphocyte and neutrophil counts showed dramatic drop from the 0.5 hour - 16 hour post LPS challenge time points (P < 0.05).Back to article page
