Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that an avirulent strain of Salmonella typhimurium, SL3235, blocked in aromatic synthesis, confers high levels of resistance to challenge with virulent Salmonella as early as 3 days postvaccination. In the present studies, it was found that immunization with SL3235 resulted in high levels of natural killer (NK) cell activity in the spleens and peritoneal cavities of C3H/HeJ mice, as...
