Abstract excerpt
Adoptive transfer of bone marrow cells from tuberculosis-resistant (I/St x A/Sn)F(1) donor mice into lethally irradiated susceptible I/St recipients changed their phenotype following infection with virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Compared to I/St-->I/St control animals, F(1)-->I/St chimeras demonstrated (i) prolonged survival time, (ii) increased antimycobacterial function of lung macrophages, (iii) elevated...
