Fig. 1: Ctr-infection inhibits apoptosis independently of Mcl-1.

A HeLa wt or Mcl-1-deficient cells were infected with Ctr (MOI = 5) for 24 h. Cells were treated with 1 µM staurosporine for 5 h. Apoptosis was measured by staining for cells expressing active caspase-3. Data show means/SEM of five independent experiments. ****p < 0.0001, two-way Anova for multiple comparisons. B Wt and Mcl-1-deficient HeLa cells were infected with Ctr (MOI = 5) for 24 h. Cells were treated with 10 µM ABT-737 for 12 h. Apoptosis was measured by staining for cells expressing active caspase-3. Data show means/SEM of three independent experiments. ****p < 0.0001, two way Anova for multiple comparisons.
