  • Title: Effect of immunomodulation with galactoside-specific mistletoe lectin on experimental listeriosis.
    Author: Stoffel B, Beuth J, Pulverer G.
    Journal: Zentralbl Bakteriol; 1996 Jul; 284(2-3):439-42. PubMed ID: 8837402.
    Abstract:
    BALB/c-mice (n = 10 per experimental group) were intravenously infected with 5 x 10(4) and 5 x 10(5) viable cells of Listeria monocytogenes SLCC 4013. About 50-80 h after this challenge, all mice of the untreated control groups succumbed to their infection. Pretreatment of experimental animals on the optimal immunoactive schedule with the galactoside-specific mistletoe lectin (ML-1; 1 ng/kg body weight; days 1, 4, 5, 6 before challenge), however, evidently reduced the lethality of listerial infection (survival rate 60%).
