Association of integrins with the macrophage cytoskeleton upon ingestion of staphylococci. The Triton-stable cytoskeletal fraction was prepared from macrophages which ingested FN-treated or untreated S. aureus Cowan I or S. saprophyticus 10312. The association of β1, β3, and α5 integrins with this fraction was analyzed by Western blot analysis. (A and B) Signals of β1 (A) and β3 (B) integrins in the cytoskeletal fraction of macrophages that ingested Cowan I or S. saprophyticus. (C) α5 integrin in the cytoskeleton of Cowan I-ingesting macrophages. The position of the α5 signal is shown by the black line at left. The lower-molecular-mass signals were nonspecific signals of the first antibody.
