Induction of Reactive Intermediates and Autophagy-Related Proteins upon Infection of Macrophages with Rhodococcus equi

Figure 1

Internalization of R. equi in BMDM. Representative confocal immunofluorescence images showing intracellular localization of R. equi in BMDM at various time points after infection: (a) uninfected, (b) 12 h, (c) 24 h, (d) 48 h, and (e) 240x magnification of the inset from image (c). R. equi are labeled green with rabbit polyclonal R. equi antibodies and the nuclei are labeled blue with DAPI. Increasing bacterial load is observed in infected BMDM at later times after infection. Pictures are representative of results obtained from three independent experiments.
