Figure 1From: Development of maternal and foetal immune responses in cattle following experimental challenge with Neospora caninum at day 210 of gestationFoetal lymph node and spleen proliferation responses following stimulation with NCA for 5 days. Samples of foetal hepatic lymph node (HLN), mesenteric LN (MLN) and and spleen were collected at post mortem examination. Samples were stimulated with NCA for 5 days (37° C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere), with 18.5 kBq 3H Thymidine / well being added for the final 18 h, before being harvested onto glass-fibre filters. The data were log-transformed (base 10) before analysis by a linear model. The predicted mean responses (counts per minute (cpm) on log10 scale) (Infected -■-, Control -∆-) and 95% confidence intervals (error bars) of foetal spleen and lymph node on (A) 14 dpi, (B) 28 dpi, (C) 42 dpi and (D) 56 dpi are presented).Back to article page
