Immunization with Bivalent Flagellin Protects Mice against Fatal Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pneumonia

Figure 1

Survival rates of actively and passively immunized BALB/c mice ( mice/group) to infection with P. aeruginosa strains. Active and passive immunization against bivalent flagellin (a, b), flagellin a (c, d), and flagellin b (e, f). Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted for mice of the above groups, which were challenged by 2 × 10⁷ CFUs of P. aeruginosa strains PAO1 and PAK and monitored the seven day survival rates. and .
