Respiratory burst presented as a level of pp40phox component detected using fluorescent microscopy. (a) Level of pp40phox molecule in neutrophils infected with M. tb cytokine-free (M. tb) or M. tb associated with IL-8 (M. tb/IL-8) presented as an intensity scan/increase fold over normal cells. (b) Level of pp40phox molecule in THP-1 cells infected with M. tb cytokine-free (M. tb) or M. tb associated with IL-8 (M. tb/IL-8) presented as an intensity scan/increase fold over normal cells.
