Fig. 3. Differential binding to inhibitory lectins by bacteria associated with term and preterm birth.

Bacteria (10⁶ per well) were coated in 96-well plates and tested for their capacity to bind Siglec 9-Fc (a), Siglec 10-Fc (b) and DC-SIGN-Fc (c). Lje L. jensenii, Ljo L. johnsonii, Lv Limosilactobacillus vaginalis, Lg L. gasseri. Data are mean +/−SD (n = 3 biological replicates). One way ANOVA, Dunnett multiple comparison test against control (PBS) condition. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.005, ****p < 0.001. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
