Numbers are presented as means ± SD. Percentages were obtained by analyzing cell suspensions from each organ by flow cytometry (n = 3). Cell numbers correspond to the number of mononuclear phagocytes obtained following cell sorting (n = 3), which, in the case of WKM, is approximately 50% of the total cells.
