Figure 2From: Spatial constraints within the chlamydial host cell inclusion predict interrupted development and persistenceScatterplot from 10,000 stochastic model time course simulations of the length of T3S needle versus the RB radius, color-coded (a) for the maximum number of RBs, RBmax: dark blue RBmax < 20, light blue 20 ≤ RBmax < 40, green 40 ≤ RBmax < 60, yellow 60 ≤ RBmax < 80, orange 80 ≤ RBmax < 100, and red RBmax > 100; (b) by whether normal (blue) or interrupted (red) development, leading to persistent infection occurred. (c) Histogram summarizing 10,000 simulations of persistence or normal development, grouped by the size of RB radius; groupings are in intervals of 0.1 μ m and the mid-point of the interval is shown.Back to article page
