Survival and proliferation of N. meningitidis strain 44/76 in whole blood. The mean numbers of N. meningitidis quantified by CFU (left panel) and DNA copies (right panel) from the C2-deficient (C2D) and C5-deficient (C5D) patients and in their whole blood reconstituted with purified complement factor C2 (C2D+R) and C5 (C5D+R) is shown. CFU was also performed in blood from the two control individuals (C2Ctr and C5Ctr). Error bars indicate the range of two experiments.
