Host responses to C. burnetii infection. (a) BMDM from control (white bars) and Nod2–/– (black bars) were infected with C. burnetii for 8 h and transcripts encoding TNF, IL-10, RANTES and MCP-1 were quantified by quantitative RT-PCR. Results are expressed as the ratio of expression levels in infected cells vs. uninfected cells (n = 4). (b, c and d) Control (white bars) and Nod2–/– (black bars) mice were infected and C. burnetii-specific circulating antibodies were measured over the course of infection (b). Bacterial load in the spleen (c) and in the liver (d) was monitored by quantitative PCR. *p < 0.005, **p <
