Figure 1

Influence of ECM molecules on adhesion and cell invasion of M. gallisepticum incubated with RBC. Mycoplasma gallisepticum Rlow (solid bars) and Rhigh (open bars) were incubated with chicken RBC alone (w/o) or in combination with the ECM molecules fibronectin (Fn), plasminogen (Plg), plasminogen and urokinase plasminogen activator resulting in plasmin (PU), ϵ-aminocaproic acid (EACA), ϵ-aminocaproic acid and plasminogen (EP), and ϵ-aminocaproic acid, plasminogen, and urokinase plasminogen activator (EPU). The values for the adhesion (A) or cell invasion rates (B) represent the means of at least three independent experiments performed in triplicate (Rlow) or duplicate (Rhigh) ± standard deviations. A significant difference to RBC alone (p < 0.05) is indicated by an asterisk (*).
