Figure 2. Protective immunity against H. felis in IL-17A KO mice.

Figure 2

WT and IL-17A KO mice were intranasally immunized once a week for four weeks with 100 µg of H. felis sonicate plus 5 µg of cholera toxin. On days 7 and 8 post-immunization, both mice were challenged by orogastric gavage with 1–2 × 107 cfu live H. felis. Naive mice were untreated. Gastric biopsies were harvested from all mice two weeks post-challenge and evaluated for gastritis (A), and H. felis numbers (B). n = 4 – 9 mice/group.
