Ratio of cells with inclusions versus cells with spots HASMC and HEp-2 were infected with Cpn-K6 or Cpn-VR1310. Cells carrying inclusions or spots, respectively, were counted 48 h post infection. A: Depicted is the ratio of cells with inclusions versus cells with spots; -â—†-: HASMC Cpn-K6 infected, -â– -: HASMC Cpn-VR1310 infected, -â—‡-: HEp-2 Cpn-K6 infected, -â–¡-: HEp-2 Cpn VR1310 infected B: inclusions / cell, C: spots / cell; black bars: HASMC, open bars: HEp-2 cells. The number of inclusions / cell in HASMC remained constant in contrast to the number of spots / cell when increasing the infectious dose, whereas in HEp-2 cells the number of inclusions / cell increases and the spots / cell remain constant.
