BCG infection kinetics of murine LN DCs. Six groups of mice (n = 6) were s.c. injected with 1 × 108 CFU rBCG-GFP, and LN cells were harvested at different time points. DCs were sorted and analyzed for the presence of rBCG-GFP. Infection of murine LN DCs with BCG (a). Six groups of mice (n = 6) were s.c. injected with 1 × 108 CFU BCG, and BCG in DCs was quantified in CFUs by culturing on Middlebrook 7H10 agar (b). The results are representative of three independent experiments and presented as means ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using Student’s t-test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001)
