Figure Lengend Snippet: CRAB triggers a stronger immune response in macrophages. ( A ) Immunoblot analysis of protein expression in BMDMs treated with CRAB or A19606 for 2 h at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1, 1, and 10. ( B ) Gray scale analysis summary of Western blot (WB) results from three independent experiments. ( C ) qRT-PCR analysis of gene expression in BMDMs infected with CRAB for 4 h at an MOI of 10 ( n = 3). The data are expressed as the mean ± SD; * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; and **** P < 0.0001; ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: For comparison, the reference strain A19606 was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
