EFFECT OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO LOW TEMPERATURES ON SURVIVAL OF MICE CHALLENGED WITH KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE

Abstract

Normal and immunized mice were subjected to acute and chronic stress of 2 C ambient temperature. Singly caged mice were adversely affected by the acute cold stress, but mice chronically cold-stressed were significantly protected by the immunization whether caged in groups or singly. Chronic cold stress did not decrease the ability of the animals to form agglutinin antibody.
