Immunity to Listeria monocytogenes is largely mediated by T lymphocytes. Recently, B lymphocytes or their secreted products are implicated to provide immunity against L. monocytogenes infection. To understand whether L. monocytogenes can infect and kill B cells as a possible strategy to initiate an infection, we examined the effects of L. monocytogenes on a human B lymphoma (Ramos RA-1) and mouse primary B cells in vitro. L. monocytogenes infection resulted in significantly (p
