Abstract excerpt
The intensity of nonspecific immune reaction and the host resistance to facultative intracellular pathogens are found to be associated in lines of mice selected for maximal (AIRmax) or minimal (AIRmin) acute inflammatory reactivity. AIRmax are more resistant than AIRmin mice to Salmonella typhimu...
