Figure 3From: Vimentin affects inflammation and neutrophil recruitment in airway epithelium during Streptococcus suis serotype 2 infectionVimentin reassembles at the cell membrane of swine tracheal epithelial cells in response to SS2 infection. A The distribution of vimentin (green) in STEC was detected by immunofluorescence staining at 2 hpi. The cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 100 μm. B STEC were infected with SS2 (MOI 50) for the indicated time. The expression of vimentin in the cell membrane of STEC was detected by Western blot. Band intensities relative to the uninfected group were analyzed. Data are representative or are presented as the mean ± SD. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01.Back to article page
