Wild-type (wt) L. biflexa and cells transformed with ligA or ligB from L. interrogans were tested for binding to immobilized human fibrinogen or its fragment D in an ELISA. Three x 10⁸ leptospires were incubated for 1 h at 30°C and adherent cells fixed with formaldehyde and detected with a rabbit antibody to intact L. biflexa. A representative of multiple experiments is shown with means and standard deviations of triplicates. Statistically significant increases compared to binding by wt with each host protein were determined by one-way ANOVA (@, *, P<0.01; #, P<0.05).
