Splenic Ter119⁺CD45⁻ and Ter119⁻CD45⁺ cells in ApoE^+/+ and ApoE^−/− mice fed with CD or with WD. (A) Number of Ter119⁺CD45⁻ and Ter119⁻CD45⁺ cells in spleen from ApoE^+/+ and ApoE^−/− mice fed either with a CD or with a WD for the last 13 weeks (n = 5, from 3 independent experiments). (B) Representative graphs showing the percentage of splenic Ter119⁺CD45⁻ and Ter119⁻CD45⁺ cells in ApoE^+/+ fed with a CD and ApoE^−/− mice fed with a WD, and percentage of Ter119⁺CD45⁻ and Ter119⁻CD45⁺ cells in spleens from mice described in A (n = 13–5, from 6–3 independent experiments). (C) Spleen weight from mice described in B. Two-tailed Student's t-tests were used for comparisons between the two groups (mean ± SEM; n = 13, from 6 independent experiments). **p < 0.01. (A,B) Data show the mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction was used to compare all pairs of columns between groups. ***p < 0.001.
