BALB/c mice were infected with r19F (1×106 TCID50) on day 0 and administered 300ug of anti-G (131-2G) or anti-F (143-6C) protein mAbs on day 3 pi (n=5 mice/group). Data are the mean total number of BAL cells by subtype at days 4-8 pi per lung: lymphocyte gate, anti-CD3+ (17A2), and anti-CD4+ (GK1.5) CD4 T cells; lymphocyte gate, CD3+ and anti-CD8+ (53-6.7) – CD8 T cells; CD3-, anti-CD45R/B220+ (RA3-6B2)- B cells; CD3-, anti-CD11b+ (M1/70)- macrophages, dendritic cells, and monocytes; CD3-, anti-mouse Ly06G/Gr-1 (RB6-8C5)- Polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs); CD3-, anti-mouse CD49b/Integrin alpha2 (DX5)- NK cell. The fold reduction is decrease in the number in treated relative to untreated mice for the cell type.
(p≤0.05, ANOVA)
(p≤0.001, ANOVA) indicates significant decrease in numbers for untreated compared to mice receiving the indicated treatments. Results are representative of two independent experiments.
