Changes in the cell populations in the mouse peritoneal cavity, spleen, and bone marrow after S. aureus MW2 infection. (A–C) BALB/c mice were i.p. injected with PBS or CpG-DNA 1826. After 7 days, the mice were i.v. injected with PBS or S. aureus MW2 (1 × 107 CFU). Two days after S. aureus MW2 infection, the mice were sacrificed. The peritoneal cavity cells, splenocytes, and bone marrow cells were harvested and stained with fluorescence-conjugated antibodies to analyze the cell populations by flow cytometry. (A) Peritoneal cavity cells. (B) Bone marrow cells. (C) Splenocytes. n = 3/group. 1826, CpG-DNA 1826. MW2, S. aureus MW2. The results presented are representative of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005.
