Gating was set on untreated AR05 cells, and agglutination was defined by SSC-positive FSC-positive cells (Q2 + Q4). STm cells treated with isotype control antibodies resulted in Q2 + Q4 values <1%.
Results represent data from three separate biological experiments.
Mid log phase AR05 cultures were washed in PBS and incubated with indicated amounts of Sal4 mAbs for 1 h at 37 °C. 10 000 events per sample were analyzed on a BD FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) by forward scatter (FSC) and side scatter (SSC) to visualize aggregate size and granularity.
