From: Both flagella and F4 fimbriae from F4ac+ enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli contribute to attachment to IPEC-J2 cells in vitro

Figure 2

Both flagella and F4 fimbriae contribute to adherence to IPEC-J2 cells. A. Flagella is an important F4+ ETEC adherence factor. Adherence to IPEC-J2 cells by WT C83902, isogenic mutants and complemented C83902 ΔfliC/pfliC. B. Adherence assay of F4+ ETEC to IPEC-J2 cells after pre-incubation with blocking antibody. The WT strain adhesion index was assumed as 100%. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of triplicate experiments. *Indicates statistically significant difference when compared to the WT C83902 strain (P < 0.05). WT, wild-type.
