HeLa cells were transfected with Shank3-HA and infected 24 hours later. Infections were performed using EPEC expressing wild-type or mutant Tir variants for 5 hours, cells were then fixed and stained for bacteria, actin and Shank3. Shank3 staining was performed using anti-Shank3 antibodies since bacterial Tir expression constructs were HA-fusions. Quantification was performed by a blinded operator and data was pooled from two independent experiments and is presented as means with standard deviations.
