Immune and pathologic responses in mice infected with Brucella abortus 19, RB51, or 2308.

abstract：:Groups of female C57BL/6 and C3H/St mice were inoculated intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 10(9), 10(7), and 10(5) bacilli and into the right hind footpad with 10(7) and 10(5) bacilli of Mycobacterium lepraemurium. The incidence of death from leprosy and the mean survival time of leprous mice were recorded. In addition, t...
