Figure 6From: The role of the mycobacterial DNA-binding protein 1 (MDP1) from Mycobacterium bovis BCG in host cell interactionNumber of nuclei in multi-nucleated RAW264.7 cells. RAW264.7 cells were infected with BCG (pMV261) and BCG (pAS-MDP1) at an MOI 50. Uninfected cells served as negative controls and cells activated with LPS and IFN-γ served as positive controls. Five days after infection the cells were stained with Diff-Quick, and the nuclei per multi-nucleated cells were counted and the fusion indexes calculated.Back to article page
