Figure 5From: The role of TLR2 in the host response to pneumococcal pneumonia in absence of the spleen TLR2 and TLR 4 do not contribute to host defense against S. pneumoniae after splenectomy. Bacterial outgrowth after infection with serotype 2 S. pneumoniae (D39) in lungs and blood of WT mice and TLR2x4 double KO mice. Bacterial loads were determined 24 hours after infection with 4*105 CFU. Data are expressed as scatter-plots.Back to article page
