CD46 down-regulation by pilus mutants of strain N401. N401 (P+) and its mutants (Table I), MW4 (P), GT104 (PilTind), GV2 (PilV), or GU5 (PilU), were analyzed for adherence (A) and CD46 down-regulation (B). Adherence was assessed by FACS® at 4 h after infection (MOI = 100) whereas CD46 levels were analyzed by FACS® after incubation of bacteria with ME-180 cells for 6 and 24 h (MOI = 100). Results at 6 h (not depicted) were similar to those at 24 h. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of triplicate samples from one of three independent experiments.
