Figure Lengend Snippet: J774.16 murine macrophages were infected with live Mtb H37Rv or CDC1551, and heat-killed CDC1551 were treated with either 0.1 % DMSO (black bars) or 10 μM V-58 (gray bars). cAMP levels were quantified by RIA from the A) intracellular bacteria and B) macrophage lysates. The data shown are the means of two biologically independent experiments. Error bars represent the standard deviation between replicates. C) Macrophages were infected with Mtb CDC1551 at the indicated MOI and treated with 10 ng/mL LPS, 250 μM 8-Br-cAMP or V-58 at the indicated concentrations for 18 h and supernatant TNF-α levels were determined by ELISA. Data are means of four biologically independent experiments and the error bars represent the standard deviation between experiments. Statistical significance was determined with a two-tailed unpaired t-test, *p≤0.05, **p≤0.005 and ****p≤0.0001.
