Figure 3. Virulent Mtb inhibits amphisome formation.
Co-localization of H37Ra and H37Rv (green) to LC3 (red) and RAB7 (blue) were examined at 48 hours post-infection. Representative images are shown in panel (A). Panel B shows the plot of Co-localization Coefficient of Mtb to LC3 (Mtb:LC3), Mtb to RAB7 (Mtb:RAB7) and LC3 to RAB7 (LC3:RAB7) at 48 hours post infection (Mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001). Panel C shows percentage of Mtb in LC3-RAB7 amphisomes at 48 hours time point (Mean ± SEM, *p-value < 0.05). Panel (D) shows the representative images of H37Ra and H37Rv in amphisomes (white arrow). Scale bar represents 5 μm.
