Figure 1From: Surface glycosaminoglycans mediate adherence between HeLa cells and Lactobacillus salivarius Lv72Inhibition of Lactobacillus attachment to HeLa cells by the presence of different GAGs. A) Adhesion of Lactobacillus salivarius Lv72 to HeLa cells co-incubated in the presence of different concentrations of heparin (♦), HS (*), CS A (■), CS C (□), CS B (▲) and a mixture of all GAGs except CS B (final concentration) (●). B) Detail of the inhibitory effect at concentrations below 1 μg /ml. n=9 ANOVA test **, p-value < 0.001; *, p-value < 0.05 vs adhesion of Lactobacillus salivarius Lv72 to HeLa cells without interferences.Back to article page
