Numbers of B lineage cells in BM following treatment with RU486 and/or Leptin.

aFollowing treatment with RU486 (R), RU486 plus leptin (RL), leptin (L), vehicle respectively, mice were infected i.n. with 104 PFU of V (V-) or PBS (Mock-), respectively. The right femurs from six mice per group were collected at day 5. BM cells were prepared and stained with anti-CD45/B220, anti-CD43, anti-IgD and anti-IgM, and analyzed by flow cytometer. The numbers of different B cells populations were calculated by multiplying the percentage of each cell type by the total number of BM viable cells. Data is representative of means of six mice ± SD for three independent experiments..bIndicates statistically significant differences (p
