Neisseria gonorrhoeae Pilus Attenuates Cytokine Response of Human Fallopian Tube Explants
Figure 2
Western blot for Pil and Opa proteins in Pil+Opa+ and Pil−Opa− gonococcal strains incubated for 12 h with Fallopian tube mucosal strips. (a): Western blot for Pil protein. (b): Western blot for Opa protein. The two dark bands corresponding to Pil (a) and Opa (b) appear in lanes from the Pil+Opa+ strain only. Densitometry analysis showed no change in Pil and Opa expression after the co-incubation.
