title: Plasma fibronectin concentration in germfree and conventional mice of various age.
abstract: Lower plasma fibronectin (FN) levels were detected in C3H germfree (Gf) mice as compared to conventional (Cv) ones. FN levels increased with aging both in Gf and Cv mice. Stimulation of the immune system with live Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine increased the FN levels in young germfree mice, but had no effect in conventionals.
