Sn is important for mouse survival during neutropenia. WT and Sn-deficient mice were intraperitoneally infected with GBS; blood was collected 4 h post-infection for CFU enumeration (a); and survival was monitored for 7 days (b). WT and Sn-deficient mice were intraperitoneally challenged with GBS after neutrophil depletion, and the survival was recorded for 14 days with n = 10 for WT and n = 9 for Sn-deficient mice (c). Long-rank test was used for statistical analysis for (b) and (c). Representative data were shown from two independent experiments
