To investigate specific immunological parameters, blood samples of at least 5 mL were taken at different days prior to and after aerosol exposure, at day -6, day -4, day -1, day 1, day 3, day 6, day 13, and day 21 from all piglets (Figure 1 ). The blood was taken from the vena cava cranialis with single-use needles (Ø/L 0.90 × 40, Sterican®, B. Braun Melsungen AG, Germany) and VACUETTE blood tubes with lithium heparin (Greiner Bio-One, Germany). The first blood sample of the DG was taken prior to the first application of dexamethasone. Blood samples were examined by the Institute of Immunology (Freie Universitaet Berlin).
Vacuette blood tubes
Manufactured by Greiner
Sourced in Germany, United Kingdom
VACUETTE blood tubes are a range of evacuated tubes designed for the collection and transportation of blood samples. They are manufactured to ensure the integrity of the sample and provide consistent results for laboratory testing.

Venous blood samples were drawn from the antecubital vein via a standard venepuncture procedure into Vacuette blood tubes (Vacuette®, Greiner BIO-one, UK). Blood samples were taken no longer than 1 week prior to baseline assessment (pre), then after 4 successful weeks of the exercise programme (mid), and again in the final week no more than 1 week after ceasing with the exercise programme (post). Venous samples were all taken at or as closely as possible to 09:00 h following an overnight fast.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
