Figure 1. Anti-hCMV antibodies induce apoptosis of endothelial cells.

Figure 1

Apoptosis induced in HUVECs by antibodies directed against UL122 peptide (A) and against US28 peptide (B); X axis: apoptotic index; Y axis: time expressed in hours. Data are mean of three independent experiments. Error bars = SD. Apoptosis induced by antibodies directed against the irrelevant peptide gave an apoptotic index<1 at all time points, corresponding to less than 8–12% of apoptotic cells as determined in parallel by FACS analysis.
