Measurement of Resistance to Experimental Tuberculosis in Albino Mice
Enhanced resistance against experimental tuberculosis was acquired by albino mice after peritoneal vaccination with living BCG. Prolongation of life was used as a measure of resistance against massive intravenous challenge infection. The average degree of prolongation of life was found to be directly related to the size of the vaccinating dose. The ultimate numbers of BCG bacilli recovered from...
متن کاملMeasurement of Resistance to Experimental Tuberculosis in Mice
NCS mice were found to be susceptible to a hyperacute form of disease induced by injection of relatively large doses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Susceptibility to this type of disease was conditioned by the sex, age, and dietary history of the animals. Unlike the more usual response of mice to mycobacterial disease, these conditions affected primarily the relative occurrence of early-acute d...

Effect of dietary factors upon the resistance of albino mice to experimental infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. J. Bacteriol. 90:958-964. 1965.-Each of the major nutritional components of a synthetic diet was quantitatively altered to determine its effect upon the resistance of albino mice to...
متن کاملTemporal Development of Resistance to Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Swiss Albino Mice
The course of pulmonary tuberculosis was followed in control and BCG-vaccinated mice. Resistance was evaluated by determining the numbers of virulent mycobacteria recovered from the organs at various intervals after airborn infection. A limited but significant retardation of growth of challenge bacilli was observed in both pulmonary and splenic tissues of successfully vaccinated animals. This r...
متن کاملEffect of Metabolic Factors on the Susceptibility of Albino Mice to Experimental Tuberculosis
Mice maintained on various types of diets were found to become more susceptible to tuberculosis when deprived of food for periods of 30 hours shortly after infection. In contrast, the susceptibility of the animals to the disease was unaffected by undernutrition resulting from limitation of food intake to a low but constant daily level. The resistance of mice to tuberculosis appeared to be indep...
