FIG 5.
glp mutants 876 and 2107 maintain wild-type levels of attachment to eukaryotic cells. M. gallisepticum strains were radiolabeled, and their abilities to attach to MRC-5 cells were measured by liquid scintillation. Data represent the mean fold change (± standard error of the mean) in attachment to MRC-5 cells from Rlow (whose value is set at 1), as measured over three separate experiments. No statistical difference was observed among the groups, as determined by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple-comparison post hoc test (with Rlow serving as the control group for comparison).
