listeria: Listeria growth in experiment with mice

listeriaR Documentation

Listeria growth in experiment with mice

Description

Ten wildtype mice and ten RIP2-deficient mice, i.e., mice without the RIP2 protein, were used in the experiment. Each mouse was infected with listeria, and after three days the bacteria growth was measured in the liver or spleen. Errors were detected for two liver measurements, so the total number of observations is 18.
