Splenic NK cytotoxicity after L. monocytogenes infection. C57BL/6 mice were infected with L. monocytogenes in the Se-adequate or Se-deficient state. At 72 h post infection, splenocytes were obtained from each group mice, and their ability to kill NK-sensitive YAC-1 target cells, and NK-insensitive P815 target cells was determined by 51Cr-release assay. Percentage-specific killing ± SD at the various ratios of effectors and targets are indicated for spleen cells from infected Se-adequate (A) and infected Se-deficient mice (B).
