CvGals mediate P. marinus trophozoites adhesion onto oyster hemocytes. (A) Carbohydrate -specific binding of rCvGal1 to P. marinus trophozoites in the presence and absence of thiodigalactose (inhibits rCvGal1 binding) or glucose (does not inhibit rCvGal1 binding) was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Scale bar, 10 μm. (B) Adhesion of P. marinus trophozoites to hemocytes was enhanced by addition of recombinant CvGal1 or CvGal2 (left) or inhibited by addition of anti-CvGal1 or anti-CvGal2 antibody (right). *Indicates significant difference (p < 0.05) from control sample [Adapted from Tasumi and Vasta (2007), and Feng et al.
