Fig. 2. A44 blocks binding of P. gingivalis to HEp-2 cells.

A. Western blot of HEp-2 lysate after incubation with peptide A44. Presence of the peptide in HEp-2 lysates was detected with anti-His-tag primary and HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies.

B. Adherence of P. gingivalis to HEp-2 monolayers in the presence of A44. Data were obtained from at least three independent experiments in which each data point was obtained from triplicate assays. The number of bacteria that adhered to HEp-2 cells in the absence of A44 was designated as 100%, and the number of bacteria that adhered in the presence of peptide was expressed as relative to this control value (± standard deviation).
