Fig. 5From: Lactobacillus plantarum displaying CCL3 chemokine in fusion with HIV-1 Gag derived antigen causes increased recruitment of T cellsChemotactic properties of L. plantarum harbouring various constructs. The graphs show migration of Esb-MP cells towards CCL3Gag-expressing strains compared to migration towards the negative control (Lp_Ev). The number of migrated cells was counted using flow cytometry and relative chemotaxis is shown as the average fold change relative to the negative control. a L. plantarum strain displaying CCL3Gag anchored C-terminally to the surface. The data presented are the means from 3 replicates +SEM. Statistically significant differences compared to the negative control (p < 0.01) are indicated by an asterisk (*). b L. plantarum strains displaying CCL3Gag anchored N-terminally to the surface. The data presented are derived from one representative experiment. The experiments were performed at least three times and these independent experiments showed the similar trendsBack to article page
