Recovery of infectious chlamydiae after disruption of monocytes. At 24, 48, 72 or 96 hours post-infection, monocytes or similarly infected permissive LLC-MK2 cells were disrupted and EBs infectivity was titrated in LLC-MK2 cells. At 3 days after the initial inoculum, chlamydial inclusions were enumerated. A representative from three independent experiments is shown (mean ± standard error of the mean-SEM).
