Neisseria gonorrhoeae Pilus Attenuates Cytokine Response of Human Fallopian Tube Explants
Table 1
Attachment of NGO variants to human FT explant epithelium. FT explants were infected with Pil−Opa− NGO () and Pil+Opa− (), and 16 fields were examined for each explant at each time point. In each field, gonococci were counted within a continuous epithelial strip of at least 150 cells. The data are presented as the mean and SEM of the number of gonococci observed, attached, or internalized. *denotes a significantly () higher number of attached Pil+Opa− NGO compared to the Pil−Opa− variant at 3 h.
