In keeping with the kinetics of bacteremia in WT, μMT and Rag1-/- mice (Fig 1B) [8,9], bacterial loads in the blood of μMT females at the time point of mating were similar to WT mice, whereas bacteremia in Rag1-/- females was higher than in the other two groups (Fig 2A). Here, RAG1 is linked to bacterial infectious disease with sepsis.
