Neisseria meningitidis Induces Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cell Detachment from the Matrix and Cleavage of Occludin: A Role for MMP-8 (original) (raw)
Figure 5
HBMEC were incubated with MC58 and MC58 siaD using indicated concentration of bacteria (MOIs of 10, 30 and 500) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 activity was measured in supernatants collected from infected HBMEC at 2, 4, 8, and 24 h p.i. using the Sensolyte 520 MMP-8 assay kit.
