The number of bacteria, determined by CFU, increased about 1 log during 24h. Infection with live bacteria led to apoptosis of Ramos cells and mouse CD19(+) spleen cells. Approximately 30% of cells were apoptotic after 24h and 70% after 48 h, independently of the F. tularensis strain, while only 10% of non-infected cell were apoptotic at either time point. Apoptosis was confirmed by Western blot using anti-PARP antibodies. Thus, this study demonstrates unique phenomenon - namely, the ability of the intracellular pathogen F. tularensis to invade and induce apoptosis in B cells.
