Figure 2From: The role of the mycobacterial DNA-binding protein 1 (MDP1) from Mycobacterium bovis BCG in host cell interactionIntracellular survival. Human blood monocytes were infected with BCG (pMV261) and BCG (pAS-MDP1) at an MOI of 1, and the amount of intracellular bacteria in the cell lysates was determined by real-time PCR. The values represent the mean of three wells with the standard deviation. The results of a paired student’s t test are represented by asterisks (*: P < 0.05, **: P < 0.01).Back to article page
