Expression kinetics of Sp110 in human HL-60 cells infected with A. phagocytophilum. Human Sp110 (solid and dotted lines) and A. phagocytophilum msp4 (broken line) mRNA levels were determined by real-time RT-PCR in uninfected and infected HL-60 cells. mRNA levels were normalized against human β-actin and displayed in mRNA arbitrary units. Sp110 mRNA levels were compared between infected (solid line) and uninfected (dotted line) cells using an ANOVA test (*P < 0.05; N = 3).
