AvBD interaction with S. Typhimurium genomic DNA. a Gel retardation assay revealed the binding of wild-type and reduced AvBDs to S. Typhimurium genomic DNA. M: DNA molecular marker; lanes 1–6: the mass ratios of DNA to AvBD were 1:0, 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8, respectively; lane 7: DNA: bovine serum albumin (BSA) at ratio of 1:8. b Densitomeric analysis of migrated DNA by ImageJ software. Density ratio between treatment and control (lane 1) groups were calculated. Displayed values are means ± SD (n = 3). Asterisks indicate significant difference (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) between wild-type and reduced AvBDs
