mortality/aging
• 40% of Listeria-infected mice surviving beyond the end of the study unlike similarly treated wild-type mice that die by day 9 post-infection
|
immune system
• proliferation of Gr1+CD11b+ neutrophil progenitors is increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• following infection with Listeria or treatment with LPS
|
• mice infected with Listeria exhibit increased survival, neutrophil numbers, and bacterial clearance compared to wild-type mice
• however, depletion of Gr-1+ neutrophils increases bacterial load in Listeria-infected mice

hematopoietic system
• proliferation of Gr1+CD11b+ neutrophil progenitors is increased compared to in wild-type mice
