Goat anti-biotin antibody does not prevent invasion of MDCK cells by biotinylated T. spiralis larvae
| Treatmenta | Damage to monolayer (mm2, 103)b by:
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Uninfected control | Biotinylated larvae | Control larvae | |
| 16H | 2 ± 1 | 13 ± 1c | 14 ± 5c |
| 18H | 1 ± 1 | 5 ± 1 | 3 ± 1 |
| Goat anti-biotin antibody | 2 ± 1 | 21 ± 5c | 22 ± 5c |
a
Antibodies were all used at 0.25 mg/ml.
b
Damage to monolayer expressed as mean ± 1SD; n = 3 or 4 monolayers.
c
Mean was significantly greater than that for the treatment-matched, noninfected control (p ≤ 0.003).
