Assessment of Pasteurella multocida A Lipopolysaccharide, as an Adhesin in an In Vitro Model of Rabbit Respiratory Epithelium

Figure 6

Respiratory epithelium of the nasal septum that was exposed to P. multocida AUN001 LPS (treatment 6). MET and gold-labeling of LPS using a lectin of Limulus polyphemus. Intense P. multocida LPS-positive labeling is associated with the cilia, cytoplasmic membrane, and cytoplasm (arrows) of a ciliated epithelial cell (CE) and with a goblet cell; severe intracytoplasmic vacuolization (VAC) is observed.
