From: Interaction of Salmonella Gallinarum and Salmonella Enteritidis with peripheral leucocytes of hens with different laying performance

Figure 4

Association of host cells with Salmonella strains in avian whole blood. Association of different leucocyte subsets (monocytes, heterophils, thrombocytes and T lymphocytes) with GFP-transformed S. Enteritidis (A, C) and S. Gallinarum (B, D) in whole blood of WLA (A, B) and R11 chickens (C, D) was determined by flow cytometry and is presented as percentage of the leucocytes associated with Salmonella relative to the total host cell population in blood. Data of six different donors per chicken line analysed in independent experiments is presented as mean and SD. + indicates a significant difference compared to the 0 min time point (p ≤ 0.05), # indicates a significant difference compared to R11 chickens (p ≤ 0.05), $ indicates a significant difference compared to S. Gallinarum in the same chicken line (p ≤ 0.05).
