Lytic CBP1 alleles cause an increase in caspase-8 activity in infected macrophages.
BMDMs were treated with 2.5μg/mL tunicamycin (Tm), infected with indicated Hc strains at an MOI of 5, or mock infected (uninf). Caspase-8 activity was measured at 24 and 48 hpi and normalized to the activity in uninfected cells at 24 hpi. Each value is an average of triplicate wells ± standard deviation. **p<0.005, compared to wildtype, two-tailed t-test.
