FIG. 5.

K. pneumoniae CFU in blood of Klebsiella-challenged mice pretreated with AdMIP-1α or Adcmvplpa. Mice were i.t. administered AdMIP-1α or Acmvplpa (5 × 10⁸ PFU), followed 4 days later by the i.t. administration of K. pneumoniae (3 × 10³ CFU). On days 2 and 3 post-K. pneumoniae administration, the numbers of CFU in blood were determined. P < 0.05 compared to control. n = 10 to 15 mice per group. No K. pneumoniae CFU were isolated at day 1 post-bacterial challenge; thus, this time point was excluded.
