Lung bacterial loads in B. pertussis-infected mice treated with blocking antibodies. (a) The CFU of bacteria per lung was calculated and averaged at 2 dpi. (b) Timeline of lung bacterial loads in mice treated with anti-SiglecH or isotype control and infected with B. pertussis. The CFU of bacteria per lung was calculated and averaged at respective time points as depicted. At least three mice were used in each experiment. (Bar graph represents average of three mice for 2 and 5 dpi and two mice for 10 dpi. *P<0.05.) CFU, colony-forming unit; dpi, days post-infection; NS, not statistically significant.
