A. Representative immunoblot of secreted proteins prepared from derivatives of EPEC E2348/69 grown in hDMEM and detected with anti-H6 FliC antibodies. Lane 1: E2348/69; lane 2: ΔfliC; lane 3: ΔfliC (pFliC); lane 4: ΔfliI (pFliC); lane 5: ΔfliI/escF (pFliC); lane 6: ΔfliI/escF (pFliCEscF). B. NF-kappa B-dependent luciferase reporter activity in HEK293 cells stimulated with secreted proteins prepared from derivatives of EPEC E2348/69. 1. EPEC E2348/69; 2. ΔfliC; 3. ΔfliC (pFliC); 4. ΔfliI (pFliC); 5. ΔfliI/escF (pFliC); 6. ΔfliI/escF (pFliCEscF); 7. hDMEM alone. Results are expressed as the mean fold increase ± SEM with respect to the unstimulated control (fold = 1) and are representative of three independent experiments performed in triplicate C. Motility of derivatives of EPEC E2348/69 shown in (A) in 0.2% hDMEM agar. 1. EPEC E2348/69; 2. ΔfliC; 3. ΔfliC (pFliC); 4. ΔfliI (pFliC); 5. ΔfliI/escF (pFliC); 6. ΔfliI/escF (pFliCEscF).
