Binding of C. jejuni to BgAgs and identification of C. jejuni BgAg-binding adhesins. (a) Binding of digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled C. jejuni NCTC11168 to ELISA wells coated with BgAgs. Specific binding was calculated by subtracting the bovine serum albumin (BSA; negative control) values from the BSA–BgAg absorbance. Binding was significantly inhibited (p < 0.05) by the pre-incubation of bacteria with soluble glycoconjugates H-II, Leb or Ley prior to adding to the ELISA plate. NT, non-treated. Error bars: mean of triplicate values ± s.e.m. from three independent experiments. (b) Identification of BgAg-binding proteins from C. jejuni NCTC11168 using re-tagging (baits used: H-II; H-I and Leb). Two proteins were identified at sizes of 45 and 59 kDa, corresponding to MOMP and FlaA, respectively.
