Conversion of VBNC Vibrio cholerae O139 (VC-280) into culturable state by cell extract of various eukaryotic cells.
| Source of cell extract | HT-29 | T84 | Caco-2 | Intestine 407 | HeLa | CHO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| With cell extract of eukaryotic cells | 1:101 | 1:4 | 1:1.8 | 1:2.5 | 1:0.6 | 1:4 |
| Without cell extract of eukaryotic cells | –2 | – | – | – | – | – |
Caco-2, human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cells; HeLa, human cervical cancer cells.
1
Highest dilution of cell extract at which VBNC V. cholerae O139 (VC-280) was converted into culturable state. Each experiment was repeated five times.
2
No conversion was observed. Each experiment was repeated five times.
