Figure 3

Effect of metals other than zinc on oxidant-induced changes in TER and on Stx2 translocation. As in Figure 2, the “standard” concentration of hypoxanthine was 400 μM if not otherwise stated and the “standard” amount of XO was 1 U/mL. Panel A, lack of protection by FeSO4 and MnCl2 on oxidant-induced ∆ TER. Panel B, lack of protection by FeSO4 on oxidant-induced Stx2 translocation. Panel C, lack of protection by MnCl2 on oxidant-induced Stx2 translocation. Panel D, protection by CuSO4 against oxidant-induced Stx2 movement across the monolayer.
