Figure 2

Relative concentrations of immunoglobulin isotypes and bovine serum albumin (BSA) before and after intramammary infusion of 50 μg of Escherichia coli endotoxin. Afferent lymph:serum (A), efferent lymph:serum (B) and milk:afferent lymph (C) concentration ratios express the percentage of the blood serum concentration that is simultaneously found in afferent (A) and efferent (B) lymph, respectively, depicting the transfer through the endothelium; and the percentage of the afferent lymph concentration that is simultaneously found in milk (C), depicting the transfer through the mammary endothelium. Each value represents the LS-mean. Samples were collected before endotoxin infusion (0 h) and at postinfusion hours (PIH) 2 and 4.
