α-Actinin Accumulation in Epithelial Cells Infected with Attaching and Effacing Gastrointestinal Pathogens
Abstract
Fluorescent F-actin staining utilizing phalloidin, a highly toxic mushroom poison, is used as an indirect test to detect attaching and effacing (AE) bacteria. A study was done to determine if accumulation of alpha-actinin in infected tissue culture cells is a consistent feature and whether it corresponds with the AE response. Rearrangement of alpha-actinin was detected using immunofluorescence microscopy by incubation of infected cells with a …
