B cells promote survival following i.n. inoculation
| Strain | Deficiency | Survivors/Total (% Survival) |
|---|---|---|
| Wild-type | None | 18/20 (90%) |
| rag1−/− | B and T cells | 6/16a (37%) |
| TCRβδ−/− | T cells | 15/15 (100%) |
| μMT−/− | Mature B cells | 7/11a (63%) |
| JH−/− | Mature B cells | 12/20a (60%) |
Survival was significantly different from wild-type mice as measured by the log-rank (Mantle–Cox) test.
