Figures

Figure 1 YopE-TEM translocation in the lung during pneumonic plague. (A) Groups of mice were inoculated intranasally with 106 CFU of Y. pestis expressing YopE-TEM or PBS alone (mock), followed by staining with CCF2-AM. Lungs were harvested at 12 hpi, and live cells were gated to evaluate blue/green fluorescence by flow cytometry. Cells showing blue fluorescence have been injected with YopE-TEM. Histograms show representative data from a single mouse; (B) Total injection events (cells exhibiting blue fluorescence) in the lungs of mice inoculated with 106 CFU Y. pestis YopE-TEM; (C) The percentage of total cells in the lung injected with YopE-TEM was evaluated for samples shown in (B) at 6, 12, and 24 hpi; (D) Lung bacterial burden was evaluated in mice inoculated with 106 CFU Y. pestis YopE-TEM. (E) Live injected cells in lungs of mice inoculated with 106 CFU Y. pestis YopE-TEM were gated for identification of alveolar macrophages (F480+CD11blow/midCD11chigh), interstitial macrophages (F480+CD11bhighCD11cmid/low), F480+CD11bhighCD11chigh macrophages, monocytes (F480−CD11bhighLy-6G−), neutrophils (F480−CD11bhighLy-6G+), and CD11b high and low dendritic cells (F480− CD11c+); All data are representative of at least three independent experiments with three to five mice at each time point. Error bars represent SEM.

Figure 2 Lung host cell repertoire of mice inoculated intranasally with Y. pestis. (A) Total cell numbers of innate immune cell populations in the lungs of mice inoculated with 106 CFU Y. pestis YopE-TEM or PBS (mock) at 6, 12, and 24 hpi. (B) Y. pestis causes severe inflammation in the lungs that is visible by 48 hpi. Mice were inoculated with 106 CFU Y. pestis and lungs were inflated with 10% formalin at 24 and 48 hpi prior to H and E staining. Images are representative of experiments done a minimum of three times. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments with five mice at each time point. Error bars represent SEM.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
