Phagocyte activity reflects mammalian homeo- and hetero-thermic physiological states

摘要

Differences in blood profile and phagocyte activity parameters measured in greater mouse-eared bats (Myotis myotis), noctules (Nyctalus noctula) and laboratory BALB/C mice (Mus musculus). Post-hoc comparisons were used to evaluate species-specific differences in parameters.
