Ig Binding to fecal bacteria during infection: Representative histograms
from flow cytometry of GFP+ events in fecal bacteria isolated from mice
at 10, 13, and 15 days of infection with C. rodentium.
X-axis indicates fluorescence intensity in FL-2
(log10 scale); Y-axis indicates number
of events. Panels: Staining in control antibody-deficient JhD–/– mice
mice (white tracings) are shown. From left to right, the different
antibodies are shown (IgM, IgG1, IgG2b, IgG2c, IgG3, and IgA). The three
top rows indicate levels in the fecal pellets 10, 13, and 15 days after
infection. The bottom row shows antibody levels in serum 15 days after
infection. Asterisks indicate a significant difference between wildtype
and immune compromised mice
