Absolute numbers of vaginal ( A ) and splenic ( B ) lymphocytes isolated from phosphate-buffered saline-treated control mice and estrogen-treated Candida albicans -infected experimental mice at days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 postinfection. Cell counts were plotted against the time points at which cells were harvested. The mean number of lymphocytes/tissue ± SEM was calculated based on data from three separate experiments, five to six mice/time point/experiment.
