Abstract excerpt
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) inserts its receptor for intimate adherence (Tir) into host cell membranes by using a type III secretion system. Detergents are frequently used to fractionate infected host cells to investigate bacterial protein delivery into mammalian cells. In this study, we found that the Triton X-100-soluble membrane fraction from EPEC-infected HeLa cells was contaminated with...
