Fig. 1. CEA binding assay with radiolabeled bacteria expressing Dr family adhesins.
Bacterial cells were labeled with 3H-thymidine and incubated in microtiter wells coated with soluble CEA at concentrations of 15, 10, 5, or 3 mg/ml. Bound bacteria remaining in the wells were quantified by scintillation counting. Results shown are the average of three independent experiments with duplicate wells of each sample. Error bars indicate standard deviation.
