From: Passive Immunization to Outer Membrane Proteins MLP and PAL Does Not Protect Mice from Sepsis
Bacteremia and TNF and IL-6 levels after passive immunization with rabbit anti-MLP in the peritonitis model of sepsis. C57BL/6 mice were injected with 200 µg of rabbit anti-MLP or control rabbit IgG and implanted with a fibrin clot containing 2.5 × 105 cfu E. coli. Mice were bled at 24 h postimplantation and quantitative blood cultures performed and plasma TNF and IL-6 levels measured by ELISA. n = 24 for anti-MLP and control groups; P> 0.05, Mann-Whitney test.
