Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. Mycolic acid-treated Tollip−/− macrophages accumulate lipids and permit increased Mtb replication A-B) LipidTox neutral lipid stain MFI in alveolar macrophages (AM; p=0.03), monocyte- derived macrophages (MDM), and neutrophils (PMN) from mixed bone marrow chimeric mice 28 days after Mtb infection (dpi). B) Representative histogram of AM and MDM lipid staining (B6 – blue; Tollip−/− – red). Lines connect B6 and Tollip−/− AM from the same mouse. * p < 0.05, paired two-sided t-test; N = 5. Experiment was performed five times.
Article Snippet: Mycolic acid preparation Synthetic α-mycolic acid (C80) in a mixture of three isoforms (alpha, keto, hydroxy) in equal measure was obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids.
