Abstract excerpt
The host response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection varies among inbred mouse strains. Mice of the BALB/c strain are resistant to P. aeruginosa lung infection, whereas mice of the DBA/2 strain are susceptible. This phenotypic variation correlates with a difference in the magnitude of the inflammatory response induced early following infection. In order to determine whether the ability of lung phagocytic...
