Figure 5From: Phospholipase D promotes Arcanobacterium haemolyticum adhesion via lipid raft remodeling and host cell death following bacterial invasionIntracellular PLD does not initiate apoptosis in HeLa cells. HeLa cells were inoculated with A. haemolyticum strains and the bacteria were allowed to adhere for 2 h and invade for 5 h prior to measurement of caspase 3/7, 8 or 9 activity. Activity is shown as a fold-change of untreated cells, which was set at a nominal value of 1.0. Error bars indicate one standard deviation from the mean calculated from the averages of at least three independent experiments conducted in triplicate.Back to article page
