ADHESION OF HUMAN BIFIDOBACTERIAL STRAINS TO CULTURED HUMAN INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELLS MEDIATED BY PURIFIED ADHESIN / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

To study adhesion of human bifidobacterial strains to cultured human intestinal epithelial cells in vitro mediated by purified adhesin. Results showed that the binding of human bifidobacterial strains to human intestinal epithelial cells appeared to be specific. The adhesion was time and dose-dependent.These data suggested adhesion of human bifidobacterial strains to cultured human intestinal epithelial cells in vitro can be mediated specifically by purified adhesin.
