Figure Lengend Snippet: McCoy cells were infected with M8R4-pTC0237-FLAG at an MOI of 1.0 in +/ − aTc and the infected cells were lysed 24 hours later. The lysates, M8, M8R4 237 mut , M8R24 237 wt , CM TS1 , and CM tsp were used to infect fresh McCoy, (A) CMT93, or (B) C57 cells, and IFUs were determined at 24 hpi. (C) McCoy, CMT93, or C57 cells were infected with M8R4-pTC0237-FLAG at MOIs of 0.1, fresh medium + / − aTc was added at 2 hpi, and IFUs were determined at 24 hpi. The number of IFUs formed in each condition is on the y-axis and each dot represents the result of a technical replicate. Significance was determined by ( A-B ) ordinary one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test or ( C ) unpaired t-test. Shared letters indicate groups with p-values greater than 0.05. Groups that do not share a letter have p-values less than 0.05. Error bars represent standard deviation. ns = not significant.
Article Snippet: Murine fibroblast (McCoy cells) and murine rectal carcinoma (CMT93) cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and were maintained in high glucose Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle medium (DMEM; Cytiva Hyclone) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Atlanta Biologicals) non-essential amino acids, and HEPES (DMEM-10).
