Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages producing ARF1-GFP were infected with the indicated Legionella strains for 1 h, and GFP-ARF1 localization was assayed by fluorescence microscopy. Recruitment of ARF1-GFP to the Legionella-containing vacuoles was scored, and values are presented as the percent of vacuoles that stained positive for ARF1-GFP. Indicated are the average and SD for an experiment performed in triplicate in which a minimum of 50 vacuoles were scored for each sample.
