Induction of TNFα by the B. melitensis in BMDMs from C57BL/6 mice. Cytokine levels were assayed from supernatants of B. melitensis 16M infected or medium alone bone-marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs). BMDMs were cultured 5–7 days pre-infection. Cytokines were measured in pg/mL by ELISA at 12 hr post-infection. Data are from 7 mice/experiment.
