Impact of protein O-mannosylation on LAM exposition to the bacterial cell surface and release of the LprG/LAM complex. (A) FACS analyses of LAM staining on the surface of the various M. tuberculosis strains. The bar graph values correspond to the median fluorescence value after normalization to H37Rv. Results are representative of two independent experiments. *P < 0.05. (B) Western-blot analyses of LAM associated with LprG in WT M. tuberculosis or Δpmt mutant. Similar amounts of LprG-His protein purified from the bacteria or culture medium were separated by SDS-PAGE. After transfer, the LAM or LprG-His molecules were revealed using the anti-LAM antibody CS-35 or an anti-His antibody. Blots are representative of at least three independent experiments.
