FIG. 5.
Association of OpaB and OpaI variants with murine vaginal cells. Vaginal smear samples from mice infected with a mixture of OpaI Cmr and Opa− Cms gonococci (top panels) or a mixture of OpaB Cmr and Opa− Cms gonococci (bottom panels) stained sequentially with Opa-specific antibodies against OpaI (A) or OpaB/D (B) (green) and a polyclonal rabbit antiserum against whole gonococci (GC) (red) (29). Results from one mouse in each group are shown. All images were obtained at an original magnification of 40×.
