(A-F) WT, Tmem173-/- and cGas-/- BMDMs were infected for 6 h with L. pneumophila WT at MOI 10 and relative cytokine expression was determined by qRT-PCR. (G-J) Cytokine protein concentrations in whole lung homogenates from L. pneumophila-infected mice were quantified by sandwich ELISA. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. (A-F) Data representative of 3 to 4 independent experiments carried out in duplicates. (G-J) Data representative of 6 o 7 mice per group. Data were analyzed through the Mann-Whitney U Test. Comparisons with a p < 0.05 were considered significant.
