Figure Lengend Snippet: Adhesion to extracellular matrix components and HeLa cells of Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis PAP1 -silenced strains. The indicated extracellular matrix component was used to coat 96-well plates, then yeast-like cells were added, unbound cells were removed by extensive washing, and adherent cells were detected by ELISA with a primary anti-rHsp60 antibody. Control refers to wells coated with bovine serum albumin. Panel A contains data generated with S. schenckii, and WT is the 1099–18 ATCC MYA 4821 strain. Panel B shows results with S. brasiliensis cells, and the WT is the 5110 ATCC MYA 4823 strain. Alternatively, for both panels, 1 × 10 6 HeLa cells were placed per well, incubated 24 h at 37 °C and 5 % ( v /v) CO 2 , and used in the adhesion assays. Results are means ± SD of three biological replicates performed in duplicate. The Dunnett's test and then the unpaired t-test were used for data analysis. In both panels, * P < 0.05 when compared to WT or strains HSB1 and HSB2.
Article Snippet: In some experiments, HeLa cells (ATCC) were grown in monolayers in Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM, Sigma-Aldrich) at 37 °C and 5 % CO 2 (v/v).
