Quantification of the immunohistochemically labelled T and B lymphocytes and phagocytic cells in the placenta. Box-plot graphs representing the median number of cells, lower and upper quartiles (boxes) and minimum and maximum values (whiskers) of CD3 + (A), CD4 + (B), CD8 + (C), CD20 + (D), calprotectin + (E) and lysozyme + (F) cell populations in placentomes collected at 10 and 20 dpi with PBS (G-control) and 107 tachyzoites of Nc-Spain7 (G-NcSpain7) and Nc-Spain1H (G-NcSpain1H) isolates. ****, ***, ** and * indicate P < 0.0001, P < 0.001, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05 significant differences, respectively, and σ indicates P < 0.1. Box-plot graphs are representative of three randomly selected medial placentomes from each animal, and cells were counted in 20 random 20 × fields of each placentome.
