Apoptosis marker cleaved caspase-3 co-localizes with NP at 14 dpi
(A) Representative confocal images of infected cells show co-localization of NP with cleaved caspase-3 (Asp175) (aCasp3) 14 dpi. In addition, aCasp3 co-localizes with GFAP. DNA fragmentation is not seen.
(B) There is low co-localization of aCasp3 with NP or GFAP 4 dpi.
(C) Quantification of aCasp3 co-localization with NP or GFAP at 4 and 14 dpi. Each point represents the mean of three sections from three organoids. Significant statistical differences are indicated among samples (p < 0.05). N = 3 organoids from two independent experiments.
