FIG. 5.
ScpC is dispensable for neutrophil recruitment in blood. (A) KC levels in sera at 0 h and 30 h postinfection. The data were analyzed by a Student's t test. The results shown represent the means ± standard deviations of data from two independent experiments. (B) Number of neutrophils in blood of mice infected with 3 × 107 CFU of the wild type (WT) or the ScpC mutant (Mut). Uninfected (UN) mice were used as a control. The results shown represent the means ± standard deviations of data from two independent experiments (n = 6 to 10 mice/group).
