Fig. 2: Mint3 deficiency attenuates LM growth within macrophages.

A Thioglycolate-induced peritoneal macrophages (TG-MFs) and B bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMFs) from WT or Mint3–/– mice were infected in vitro with 105 CFUs of LM (MOI = 1). The bacterial burden was determined 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 h after infection. Data are presented as the means ± SDs of triplicates. Data are representative of two independent experiments. *P < 0.05 by the Student’s t-test.
