Figure 4. Overview of relative adhesion of F4ac ETEC to IPEC-J2 cells transfected with ITGB5-targeting/MUC13-targeting siRNA.

IPEC-J2 cells were transfected with ITGB5-targeting and MUC13-targeting individually or negative control siRNA (Negative control) for 48 h and co-cultured with F4ac ETEC for 3 h. Adhesion of F4ac ETEC to the four group (including three transfected groups and one non-transfected group (Blank control)) cells were measured by real-time PCR. Statistics: mean ± SE; n = 3.
