From: Membrane TNF confers protection to acute mycobacterial infection

Figure 5

Bone marrow cells from mem-TNF mice correct the heightened susceptibility of TNF deficient mice. Long-term survival of TNF-KO mice reconstituted with bone marrow from mem-TNF or WT mice (A), and control of infection in the lung (B) of bone marrow reconstituted TNF-KO mice (p < 0.01). Lethally irradiated (8 Grey) and reconstituted TNF-KO were exposed to infection (Mtb 100 CFU, intranasal administration) 4 months after irradiation and bone marrow reconstitution. The results are expressed as mean values ± SD (n = 6).
