MOESM1 of Dynamic changes in bronchoalveolar macrophages and cytokines during infection of pigs with a highly or low pathogenic genotype 1 PRRSV strain

Additional file 1. BALF cell count. Cell concentrations in BALF were counted using a haemocytometer with Trypan blue staining. All data are reported as the mean (±SE) of results obtained for the pigs in the Control or Finistere groups (n = 5 in each group) or the surviving pigs (n = 5–8) in the Lena group. * at 22 dpi, the cell concentrations for Control and Finistere group were underestimated due to the high level of mucus in the BALF for the animals of these groups
