Fig. 1. (A) Mean numbers (± s.e.m.) of total coelomocyte counts
(106 ml–1) of A. rubens determined 4h
(N=8) and 24h (N=10) post-injection (p.i.) of either 100
µl CMFSS buffer (Control), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or concanavalin A
(ConA). (B) A comparison between the different treatments showed significant
differences between LPS and Control, both at 4 and 24h, and between LPS and
ConA at 4h p.i.
