Infected with gamma-irradiated (inactivated) M. tuberculosis.
Intracellular uptake was determined as the intracellular-to-extracellular concentration ratio. BMDM, bone marrow-derived macrophages.
M0, resting macrophages; M1, macrophages subjected to classical activation; M2, macrophages subjected to alternate activation (see Materials and Methods).
ND, not detected.
