FIGURE 5.
Detection of flagellin enhances bacterial clearance. C57BL/6 mice were injected with 104 L. monocytogenes i.v. Five days later, bacterial clearance was assessed by plating organ homogenates and counting CFUs. Geometric mean of 10 mice per strain is shown (−).*, p < 0.05 and **, p < 0.01. NS, Not significant. Ten mice per cohort.
