Figure 3From: Response of the goat mammary gland to infection with Staphylococcus aureus revealed by gene expression profiling in milk somatic and white blood cellsTotal blood leukocyte (TBL) and of neutrophils (NEU) counts of LSCS (Low Somatic Cell Score) and HSCS (High Somatic Cell Score) goats. 18 h after challenge the TBL and NEU counts were 13,7 and 6 x 103 cells/ml in LSCS goats and 11,5 and 4 x 103 cells/ml in HSCS goats, respectively. The lowest counts were reached at 30h post-infection (paired t-test).Back to article page
