Impact of Salmonella LPS on T cell population in chick thymus and spleen. Newly hatched chicks were injected i.p. with saline or 50 mg/kg Salmonella LPS and then sacrificed at 36 hpt (n = 3) to analyze the impact of Salmonella LPS on chick T cell populations. a chT1+ cell ratios in spleen decreased but not significantly. b, c No significant change of CD4+/CD8+ T cells in chick thymus (b) or spleen (c) was observed. All data are presented as means ± SD. Statistically significant differences between LPS and saline groups at each time point were determined using Student’s t-test
