Predominant appearance of NK1.1+ T cells producing IL-4 may be involved in the increased susceptibility of mice with the beige mutation during Salmonella infection.

Abstract excerpt

C57BL/6 mice with the beige mutation (beige mice) showed a high susceptibility to infection with Salmonella choleraesuis compared with C57BL/6 (B6) control mice, as assessed by bacterial number in the peritoneal cavity and the liver. The appearance of NK1.1+ CD3- NK cells was significantly suppressed, while NK1.1+ T cells were increased in the peritoneal cavity of beige mice after Salmonella infection. The...
