Phospholipase activities of strain BL-1a cultured from donor and recipient mice

Treatment	Activity (nmol/mg of protein/min)a
	LPL	LPTA	PLB
Before inoculation	1,192 ± 499	606 ± 202	18.0 ± 18.0
Donor LM at 6 days	1,908 ± 356	690 ± 91	8.0 ± 4.6
Donor brains at 6 days	1,801 ± 666	811 ± 294	23.7 ± 14.4
Donor brains at 11 days	1,390 ± 642	385 ± 292	8.3 ± 3.7
Recipient brains as in 4(B)	1,035 ± 391	287 ± 149	1.7 ± 1.6
Recipient brains as in 4(D)	1,745 ± 614b	521 ± 167	10.3 ± 5.5

^aThe experimental protocol was the same as in Table 4. All activities are expressed as nanomoles of substrate degraded (PLB and LPL) or product formed (LPTA) mg protein⁻¹ min⁻¹ (means and SEM of three assays).

^bP = 0.04 by the paired two-tail t test compared to activity before inoculation.
