Figure 1. Binding of SP-A to Ureaplasma.
Mouse-adapted Ureaplasma (106 CCU) incubated with EDTA or SP-A (0–20 µg/ml) in presence or absence of 1 mM Ca2+. Total Ureaplasmaassociated SP-A is expressed as OD490 corrected for non-specific binding, mean ±SEM, 4 experiments. No binding was observed in the absence of Ca2+(not shown).
