Lymphotoxin- Plays Only a Minor Role in Host Resistance to Respiratory Infection with Virulent Type A Francisella tularensis in Mice
Figure 2
Bacterial burdens in the lungs and
spleens of LTα−/− (open bars) and LTα+/+ (filled bars) mice on days 2 and 4
after aerosol inoculation with a low-dose of type A F. tularensis strain, FSC033. The data shown are
compiled from two independent experiments with similar results and expressed as
mean standard deviation (n = 8). versus LTα+/+ mice.
