Ages of live MDMs infected with GFP-BCG (green) and pre-pulsed with Lysotracker (red) to stain acidic lysosomes. Cells were pre-incubated with anti-P2X7 (3 μg/ml) or wortmannin (100 nM) for 1 hr and then treated with 3 mM ATP for 30 minutes. Note scale bars = 10 um. C. Graph showing the percentage of Lysotracker positive, GFP-BCG containing phagosomes. Histogram shows means ± s.e.m. (n = 25–60 phagosomes). *** = P < 0.01.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "ATP-induced autophagy is associated with rapid killing of intracellular mycobacteria within human monocytes/macrophages"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2172/9/35</p><p>BMC Immunology 2008;9():35-35.</p><p>Published online 15 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2483257.</p><p></p
