Monocytes/macrophages are essential to protect trained mice from listeriosis. A, Experimental model to study the role of monocytes/macrophages in trained immunity (left) and survival of mice treated with clodronate or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) liposomes and challenged intravenously with 1.4 × 105 colony-forming units (CFUs) of Listeria monocytogenes (right). B, Experimental model to study the role of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in trained immunity (left). Survival of mice treated with anti-Ly6G or isotype control antibody and challenged intravenously with 1.3 × 105 CFUs of L. monocytogenes (middle) and bacteria in blood collected 18 hours after infection (right). C, Leukocytes in blood collected 2 days after infection with L. monocytogenes (n = 8 mice per group.) *P ≤ .01; †P ≤ .01; ‡P ≤ .001.
