M. tuberculosis ppk2 deficiency alters cytokine and chemokine release by naive macrophages by immunobead cytokine assays. Cytokines and chemokines released by naive macrophages 72 h after infection with the wild-type, ppk2::Tn, and ppk2::Tn Comp strains. Cytokine levels were normalized to total protein content of the culture supernatant. The values for all cytokines were significantly different (P < 0.05) comparing the value for the ppk2::Tn mutant with the value of the wild type. Three biological replicate samples were used for each strain in each experiment.
