However, sensitization to apoptosis was confined only to cells that carry small inclusions in the range of 4 to 8 μm, while the cells which carry inclusions larger than 10 μm still resisted apoptosis despite the suppression of Mcl-1 (Fig. S1), suggesting that apoptosis resistance depends on the host cell signaling machinery only during the early stages of infection. This evidence concerns the gene MCL1 and infection.
