Percent cytotoxicity caused by M. tuberculosis to ARPE-19 cells. (A) Mean ± SEM O.D. values at 570 nm (A570) of uninfected and infected ARPE-19 cells at different time-points (0-,−1-, 3-, 5-dpi). (B) Cytolysis of cells was quantified using MTT dye at different time-points. *p < 0.05 in comparison to 0- dpi. The percent (%) cytotoxicity was calculated as = (Mean O.D. of control cells - Mean O.D. of infected cells)/Mean O.D. of control cells × 100. dpi, day post infection; SEM, standard error of the mean.
