TRPV1^−/− corneas show similar bacterial adhesion to WT in vivo. A. Quantification of P. aeruginosa adhesion to healthy and blotted murine corneas after inoculation of ~1×10¹¹ CFU/mL every hour for 4 h. Under each condition, there was no significant difference in bacterial adhesion between TRPV1^−/− corneas and WT. As expected, more bacteria adhered to blotted corneas. ns = Not Significant (Two-way ANOVA). B. Representative images of P. aeruginosa (green) adhering to the murine cornea (red) in each condition. Scale bar = 50 μm.
