Cellular damage in macrophages caused by invasion of Burkholderia as measured by LDH release. J774A.1 macrophages were infected with Burkholderia strains at an MOI of 10 as already described and culture supernatants were analysed at 24 hrs post infection. The release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from damaged or lysed cells was measured as described in the method section using a calorimetrical assay. Supernatants from uninfected macrophages were used to obtain a background OD 490 nm value, which was subtracted from the sample measurements. The error bars represent the standard error of the mean derived from three independent experiments, each performed in three technical replicates. ND = not detected.
