Participation of Integrin α5β1 in the Fibronectin-Mediated Adherence of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli to Intestinal Cells

Figure 1

Diarrheagenic E. coli bind to integrin α5β1. (a) EAEC, EHEC, and ETEC were added to integrin α5β1- and BSA-coated wells and bacterial binding was detected by ELISA, using anti-O44, anti-O157, and anti-O78 serum, respectively. (b) EAEC strain 042 and 042aafA were added to integrin α5β1- and BSA-coated wells. EAEC binding was detected by ELISA, using anti-O44 serum. different between treatments ().
