Lpf fimbriae involvement in the expression of genes encoding inflammatory molecules. Polarized T84 cells were infected with the EHEC wild-type strain 86-24 and isogenic mutants in lpfA1 (strain CVD468), lpfA2 (strain AGT201), and lpfA1 lpfA2 (strain AGT210). After 3 h of infection, whole cell RNA was extracted to perform real-time RT-PCR analysis for IL8, ICAM1, and CCL20 genes. The fold variation of gene expression was obtained by the comparative cycle threshold (Δ Δ CT) method, normalized with GAPDH constitutive expression gene.
