Induction of Stx2h production in STEC299. (A) mRNA expression by qRT-PCR. The relative levels of expression under non-induction and induction conditions were relative to the expression level in Xuzhou21 before induction by mitomycin C which was arbitrary set at 1.0. The relative value was averaged from three independent experiments. Error bars represent the standard errors. (B) Vero toxicity assay. The cytotoxicity was detected after 24 h incubation exposure to the induced supernatants overnight. Xuzhou21 was used as positive control; MG1655 was used as negative control. (C) Western blot assays with an anti-Stx2 rabbit polyclonal antibody on whole cells and supernatants from STEC299 induced with mitomycin C with a final concentration of 0.5 μg/ml. Xuzhou21 was used as positive control.
