Fig. 6. VIT contributes to parasite survival in macrophages and for pathogenesis in vivo.

Fig. 6

a 10 mice were infected with 20 or 100 tachyzoites of the indicated strain and survival monitored over the course of the experiment. p values from Log-rank (Mantel–Cox) test. b mNeon and ΔVIT parasites were used to infect macrophages at an MOI of 5 and fluorescence (arbitrary units) monitored after 72 h. Results are the mean of n = 4 independent biological replicates, performed in triplicate, ±SD. p values from two tailed t test. c After normalisation of the fluorescence in the unstimulated macrophages (from b) there was a significant decrease in survival of the ΔVIT parasites in stimulated (IFNy/LPS) macrophages. Results are the mean of n = 4 independent biological replicates, performed in triplicate, ±SD. p values from two tailed t test.
