Δ<i>pknE</i> infected macrophages have reduced expression of transcription factors.

<p>Nuclear fractions isolated post infection was subjected to DNA binding ELISA for A) ATF-2, B) c-JUN, and C) NF-kB. The results from three independent experiments are shown. The O.D values denote standard error of the means. *denote p<0.05 (Two way ANOVA) when Δ<i>pknE</i> versus Rv infected macrophages were compared.
