mortality/aging
• in mice infected with L. monocytogenes
|
immune system
• from NK and NK T cells of mice infected with L. monocytogenes
• however, production in CD8+ T cells is normal
|
• reduced from CD8a+ dendritic cells of mice infected with L. monocytogenes
• production from Ly6c+ monocytes is temporarily delayed
|
• mice infected with L. monocytogenes exhibit increased mortality, spleen and liver bacterial counts, reduced IL12b production from CD8a+ dendritic cells compared with control mice
• intravenous L. monocytogenes infection results in reduced bacterial burden
• however, treatment with IL4 neutralizing antibody reduces bacterial burden
