The infectious doses were 1.5 × 106 IFU of C. pneumoniae for NIH/S and BALB/c mice, 1 × 106 IFU of C. pneumoniae for C57BL/6 mice, and 2 × 104 EID50 of influenza A virus for NIH/S mice. 

b

Geometric means calculated from individual mice in each experiment. 

c

Geometric means calculated from individual mice in two to three experiments. 

d

Analysis of cells isolated from a pool of lungs; lymphocytes were gated by forward- and side-scatter in fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis.
