Different Transcriptional Profiles of Human Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells Infected with Distinct Strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin
Figure 2
Cell recovery of DCs following infection with different mycobacterial strains. DCs infected or uninfected were enumerated by trypan blue at the indicated time points. Time 0 is referred to DCs before infection; following time points indicate days after infection. Data are shown as mean ± SEM from 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance was assessed by using two-way ANOVA. (Significant differences at 3 days after infection: *MTB H37Rv versus uninfected, ; #MTB CMT97 versus uninfected, ; @BCG Aventis versus uninfected, ; §BCG Aventis versus uninfected, . significant differences at 5 and 7 days after infection: ; ; ; .)
