Lytic capability of different Cpn isolates. HASMC were infected with two different Cpn isolates. LDH release was measured in triplicates 24 h, 48 h and 72 h post infection and Cpn specific lysis was calculated. The average and standard deviation is plotted. One representative result out of three independent experiments is shown. A: Dose dependent Cpn specific lysis after 48 h revealed different capacities of the isolates tested to lyse HASMC. B: Different amounts of the various Cpn isolates leading to a comparable lysis over time of HASMC. Isolates were used as follows: Cpn-VR1310, 4 IFU/cell -â—†-, Cpn-K6, 32 IFU/cell -â– -
