Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterization of pathologic slurry induced sepsis on the relative abundance of leukocytes in the lamina propria and spleen. Four hours following injection, mice were euthanized and single cell suspensions of leukocytes from lamina propria and spleens were processed for flow cytometry as described in methods. (A) Representative gating strategy: Single cell leukocytes were first gated by CD3 and CD19. Among CD3+, CD19- cells, CD4 helper T-cells were defined as CD4+, CD8- and CD8 cytotoxic T cells were defined as CD8+, CD4-. Regulatory T cells were identified as CD4+, CD25+. B cells were defined as CD19+, CD3-. Among CD3-,CD19- cells, Natural Killer cells were defined as NK1.1+, Dendritic cells as MHCII+, CD11c+, Neutrophils as Ly6G+, CD11b+, macrophages as F4/80+, CD11b+ and monocytes as MHCII low , Ly6C+. The relative expression of leukocyte populations within the (B) Lamina Propria (LP) and (C) Spleen was compared between control mice and sepsis exposed mice. Comparisons were made by unpaired T tests. Bars represent the mean values with error bars representing the standard error of the mean. Control LP (N = 12), Sepsis LP (N = 9), Control Spleen (N = 12), Sepsis Spleen (N = 10), significance noted as *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001.
