immune system
• after infection with attenuated Listeria monocytogenes expressing OVA
• CD8alphaloCD11ahi cells in peripheral blood and spleen are significantly reduced at 7 and 14 days after infection
• cell numbers are not significantly different from controls at later time points
• reduced cell proliferation but normal cell survival
• cell numbers reduced subsequent to secondary infection with virulent bacteria
|
• IFN-gamma producing cells are reduced at 7 and 15 days after infection and pulse with OVA
• also reduced IFN-gamma producing cells after secondary infection with virulent bacteria
