Induction of protective immunity by primed B-1 cells in Toxoplasma gondii -infected B cell-deficient mice.

abstract：:The effect of human normal serum (HNS) on Pseudomonas pseudomallei was determined. It is apparent from our data that the organism is resistant to the normal serum bactericidal mechanism. Ancillary experiments to confirm this serum-resistant property of P. pseudomallei were done by examining the effects of growth phase...
