The effects of DHA feeding on the cellularity and activation of T and B cells in the spleen at day 7 postinfection. A Flow cytometric analysis and enumeration of total T cells (CD45+CD3−CD19−), CD4+ T cells (CD45+CD3+CD19−CD4+CD8−), CD8+ T cells (CD45+CD3+CD19−CD4−CD8+) and B cells (CD45+CD3−CD19+) in the spleens of control versus DHA-fed mice. B Flow cytometric analysis and cumulative data indicating the expression of CD62L and CD44 in CD4+ T and CD8+ T cells between control and DHA-fed mice. For each experiment, n = 5 to 9 pooled from 2 independent experiments (A, B). Each symbol represents an individual mouse, and the blue dots and red square represent control and DHA-enriched diet-fed mice, respectively. Error bars represent interquartile ranges; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001
