Epithelial cell polarity affects susceptibility to Pseudomonas aeruginosa invasion and cytotoxicity.

abstract：:Group B streptococci (GBS) adhere to surface receptors present on epithelial cells; these receptors include fibronectin and laminin. To identify other possible receptors, plasma membranes from A549 cells, a respiratory tract epithelial cell line, were prepared. These plasma membranes were tested in a protein blot anal...
