Susceptibility to infection with Mycobacterium avium is paradoxically correlated with increased synthesis of specific anti-bacterial antibodies.

International immunology - 1 May 1991

Ferreira P, Soares R, Arala-Chaves M

Abstract excerpt

A comparison was made between the levels of splenic and intestinal (Peyer's patches and thin intestinal epithelium) Ig production of C57BL/6 germ free and conventional C57BL/6, BALB/c, DBA/2 and C3H/He mice and the susceptibility to Mycobacterium avium infection, evaluated by the number of bacterial colony-forming units (CFU) found in the liver and in the spleen of the animals. Mice received an i.p. injection of...
