Viswanathan, Gayatri VedantamC. difficile strain 630 incubated with a 1∶1000 dilution of non-specific or specific (anti-SlpA) antiserum prior to association with C2BBE host cells. For comparative purposes, data were converted to percent-adjusted adherence, with adherence of the control (no added antiserum) set to 100%; therefore no error bars appear. Means of three replicates are shown. Anti-TraG antiserum (an unrelated protein from Bacteroides sp) was used as a negative control.
