Therefore, there is a need for alternative therapeutics to treat these infections, including those targeting the host immune responses. However, immune responses, especially the humoral response against this pathogen, are poorly understood.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study investigated the lymphocyte-mediated innate immune resistance to A. baumannii AB5075 pulmonary infection using B- and T-cell\u2013deficient (Rag2\u2212\/\u2212) mice, the protective effect of natural antibodies (NAbs), and the expression of complement-mediated responses using a mouse pneumonia model.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our results showed that intranasally infected Rag2\u2212\/\u2212 mice are impaired in clearing bacteria from lung, liver, and spleen at 24 hours postinfection compared to wildtype mice. Animal pretreatment with normal mouse serum or purified antibodies from naive mice rescued Rag2\u2212\/\u2212 mice from infection. Analysis of C3 complement protein binding demonstrated that NAbs increased C3 protein deposition on A. baumannii cells, indicating the activation of the classical complement pathway by NAbs.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Overall, our study shows that NAbs mediate
