cellular
• significantly augmented ROS production from primary bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) upon zymosan stimulation after priming for 24 h with either gamma interferon or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
• ROS production from primary BMDMs upon zymosan stimulation after priming for 24 h with combination of gamma interferon and LPS
• significantly augmented ROS production from primary BMDMs upon challenge with E. coli, S. typhimrium or heat-killed Listeria monocytogenes (HKLM)
• higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in spleens upon infection with L. monocytogenes
|
immune system
• enhanced disease severity and high mortality in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)35-55-complete Freunds adjuvant (CFA)-induced EAE experiments
|
• most mice survive L. monocytogenes infection dose that is fatal to most wild-type mice
• significantly reduced L. monocytogenes burden in livers and spleens after infection
• highly bactericidal action of BMDMs and neutrophils after infection in vitro
• enhanced bactericidal action upon inoculation with live E. coli
• when treated with ROS scavengers before infection with L. monocytogenes
