Fig. 8

Representative photomicrographs showing CD8 + T cell immunoreactive areas in the spleen tissue collected from C57BL/6 J mice after exposure to (A) no stressor (sham), (B) SMG, (C) CIR; and (D) SMG + CIR. The percent area positive for CD8 + T cell immunoreactivity in the spleen collected from (E) female C57BL/6 J mice exposed to stressor (sham; n = 8); SMG (n = 7); CIR (n = 8) and SMG + CIR (n = 8). The percent area positive for CD8 + T cell immunoreactivity in the spleen collected from (F) male C57BL/6 J mice exposed to stressor (sham; n = 8); SMG (n = 8); CIR (n = 8) and SMG + CIR (n = 8). Data represent Mean ± SE. *, p < 0.05.
