Abstract excerpt
We have begun to dissect the cellular requirements for generation of immunity against enteric infection by Listeria monocytogenes using a novel T(-) B(-) NK(-) mouse strain (mice double deficient for the common cytokine receptor gamma-chain (gamma(c)) and the recombinase-activating gene-2 (RAG2/gamma(c) mice). Initial experiments showed that C57BL/6 mice and alymphoid RAG2/gamma(c) mice had similar kinetics of...
