  1. Cell immunonophenotypes are expressed as the mean of the percentage of each time point of challenged sheep from Group 1 (early stage) and from Group 2 (late stage) and UC animals (Neg. Ctl). The range of each immunophenotype are shown in parentheses. Total peritoneal cell counts and concentration of cells are expressed as the mean of each Group at the different time points
