From: The non-pathogenic mycobacteria M. smegmatis and M. fortuitum induce rapid host cell apoptosis via a caspase-3 and TNF dependent pathway

Figure 2

Difference in apoptosis induction between facultative and non-pathogenic mycobacteria in a human macrophage cell line. PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells were infected with indicated mycobacteria and the amount of apoptosis was determined 20 h after infection using TUNEL assay and flow cytometry on duplicate samples. The results are the mean and standard deviation of three independent experiments.
