Infection kinetics in organs of mice immunized with LM4Δhly::E7. Groups of five tumor-bearing mice were intraperitoneally immunized with LM4Δhly::E7 on days 0, 7, and 14. Spleens, livers, brains, and tumors were extracted and homogenized on 1 and 3 days after each immunization. Homogenates were diluted with PBS buffer and plated on BHI agar to determine bacterial numbers. (A) CFUs/organ was calculated on 1 and 3 days after each immunization, and infection kinetics in the organs are shown. (B) LM4Δhly::E7 bacilli in the tumors were observed by electron microscopy. Scale bar 0.5 μm, white arrows, LM4Δhly::E7 bacilli. Data are expressed as the mean and SD values from three independent experiments.
