Figure 5. FQE increases attachment of D39 to macrophages.

D39 was incubated with FQE and then assessed for its ability to associate with RAW 264.7 cells as described in Materials and Methods. Data is presented as % association relative to inoculum. D39cpsB? was used for comparison purposes. Results are from three independent experiments (** - P<0.01; * - P<0.05 compared to D39 by Student’s t-test).
