Spleen cells were isolated and counted from mice treated with rGM-CSF or rGM-CSF/rIL-4 (10 μg/mouse per day for 7 days). Cells were analyzed by FACS for surface expression of various markers of B cells (B220), T cells (Thy1.2), NK cells (NK1.1), and myeloid cells (CD11b). Data represent the mean ± SD (n = 3 experiments).
