Figures & data
Figure 1. Left panel: Human monocytes infected with C. trachomatis for 6 days. Cells were fixed with 70% methanol, then stained for chlamydial lipopolysaccharide (Pathfinder, BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA). Green fluorescence indicates chlamydial infection (arrows). Note large circular structures which are aberrant reticulate bodies (RB) (white asterisks). These are similar in size to aberrant RB after 48 hours of infection induced by penicillin G treatment of HEp-2 cells at the time of infection (right panel). Images collected with the assistance of MsMirabelaHali, Wayne State University.
