Chlamydial structures and their intracellular colocalization with secretory granules in infected KY-2 cells. (a) TEM of non-infected (0 hpi, I and IV) and infected (48 and 72 hpi, MOI 40) KY-2 cells (II, III, V and VI). Arrowheads and asterisks indicate chlamydial/granular remnants inside vacuolar structures and on the cell surface (72 hpi). (b) Immunofluorescence of perforin (red, upper panels) or COPI (red, lower panels) and chlamydia (green) in infected (MOI 40, 48 hpi) and non-infected cells. DNA (blue) was stained with DAPI. Cross-reactivity of anti-perforin and anti-α-COP with chlamydia was checked with isolated/purified bacteria (Supplementary Fig. S11). (c) Western blot of chlHSP60 expression in infected KY-2 cells (MOI 40) in the presence of PP2 (0.1 μM) or U73122 (10 μM). Cell lysates were analysed by Western blots probed for chlHSP60 and β-actin. (d) After densitometric analysis, chlHSP60 signals obtained for infected cells (48 hpi) were set to 1 (left: intracellular; right: supernatant). (c) Depicts cropped blots obtained by each protein evaluation. Full-length blots are shown in the Supplementary Fig. S12.
