From: TNF-α augmented Porphyromonas gingivalis invasion in human gingival epithelial cells through Rab5 and ICAM-1

Figure 10

TNF-α increased colocalization of P. gingivalis with ICAM-1 and Rab5. Ca9-22 cells were transfected with expression vectors with inserted genes of GFP-Rab5. The cells were treated with TNF-α for 3 h and were further incubated with P. gingivalis for 1 h. The cells were then stained using an anti-ICAM-1 antibody and anti-P. gingivalis antisera. Each molecule was visualized as follows: GFP-Rab5 (green), ICAM-1 (red), and P. gingivalis (blue).
