Impaired Pml −/− Macrophage Activation upon Listeria monocytogenes Infection

Lysosomes per cell (mean value) Lysosomes in nonphagocitosing cell (mean value) % of phagocitosing cells Bacteria per cell (mean value) % of bacteria not in endosomes % of Mθ̣ morphologically activateda
WT 16.2 17.5 62 2.1 7 76
Pml−/− 7.8 7.4 25 2 25 25

Note: Total number of Mθ scored from 7 fields (3,000x-4,400x) in one electron microscopy section: wild-type (WT) = 21; Pml −/− = 24.

Macrophages were considered activated when showing extensive ruffling of the plasma membrane and a reduced nucleus/cytoplasm ratio.
