Abstract excerpt
We evaluated the effect of coculture of virulent and avirulent strains of Mycoplasma pulmonis with mononuclear cells from resistant and susceptible strains of mice on natural killer (NK) cell activity against YAC-1 cells in a standard 4-h 51Cr-release assay. Endogenous NK activity was minimal in the specific-pathogen-free-mice without an external stimulus. There was no correlation between in vivo virulence of the...
