Abstract excerpt
Frequencies of IFN gamma- and IL-4-producing spleen cells in response to Mycobacterium bovis BCG infection were determined in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. Both mouse strains express equal innate susceptibility to M. bovis BCG (Bcgs), but differ in their NK1.1 and T-cell activities. M. bovis BCG infec...
