FIG. 3.
BALB/c mice resist and eventually eliminate Tox+ B. anthracis from cutaneous infections. (A) 9602Rlux spores (2 × 106) were injected into the ears of BALB/c mice and then analyzed as described in the legend to Fig. 1. Dorsal images of a single mouse are shown. The image series is representative of 12 infected mice. (B) The luminescence of the ears of mice was quantified at the indicated times by defining specific ROI encompassing the ear. Four individual mice are represented in the graph as differently colored bars. The dotted line represents the detection limit of luminescence.
