Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) in the originally established porcine bronchial epithelial (PBE) cell line. PBE cells were seeded at an initial concentration of 1.0 x 10 4 cells/cm 2 and evaluated at day 6. The expressions of PRRs from the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein (NOD) families were evaluated by qPCR. Results are expressed as copy numbers of the PRRS genes per 25 ng of cDNA. Photographs show the PBE cells stained with fluorescent antibodies directed to TLR3, TLR4, or TLR7. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI. Results represent data from three independent experiments.
Article Snippet: The cells were also incubated with rabbit polyclonal anti-ZO-1 antibody (1/2000 dilution, 21773-1-AP, Proteintech, IL, USA), mouse monoclonal anti-occludin antibody (1/3000 dilution, 66378-1-lg, Proteintech, IL, USA), rabbit anti-alpha-tubulin antibody (1/100 dilution, Proteintech, IL, USA), rabbit anti-E-cadherin antibody (1/200 dilution, Proteintech, IL, USA), rabbit anti-muc5B antibody (1/100 dilution, Proteintech, IL, USA), rabbit polyclonal anti-TLR3 antibody (1/100 dilution, GTX113022, Genetex, CA, USA), rabbit polyclonal anti-TLR4 antibody (1/100 dilution, BS-1021R, Bioss Antibodies, MA, USA) or rabbit polyclonal anti-TLR7 antibody (1/100 dilution, BS-6601R, Bioss Antibodies, MA, USA) overnight at 4°C in the dark.
