F. Representative images (high magnification; 60x) showing mTFP (cyan), Venus (yellow) and VECAD (purple) fluorescence from BMECs and laconic-infected HBVPs on a 2 well chamber. The upper panel shows HBVPs with endothelial contact and the lower panel shows HBVPs without endothelial contact. G. Quantification of the mTFP/Venus fluorescence ratio of laconic in HBVPs with endothelial contact (EC-PC contact) or HBVPs alone (PC only). (n=16 from independent experiments. Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean (SEM) from unpaired Student's t test.)
