## Abstract We investigated the protective functions of macrophages and γδ T cells in adult CD45 exon 6‐deficient (CD45−/−) mice against an intraperitoneal (i.p.) infection with __Listeria monocytogenes__. γδ T cells are preferentially localized in the spleen, liver, and intraperitoneal cavity of t
