SUSCEPTIBILITY OF IMMUNODEFICIENT GENE-KNOCKOUT MICE TO URINARY TRACT INFECTION
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Clinical and experimental evidence indicates that mucosal immunity to urinary tract infection involves B and T-cell functions. The present study was conducted to assess the susceptibility of immunocompetent and immunodeficient mice with genetically engineered deletions in T and B-cell functions to experimentally induced urinary tract infections (UTI) with Escherichia coli. MATERIALS AND METHODS:...
