To determine the contribution of the previously identified internalins, InlA, InlB, InlC, InlE, InlG, and InlH, to internalization of Listeria monocytogenes by non-professional phagocytic mammalian cells, we constructed mutants with various combinations of deletions in the respective inl genes. Internalization of these mutants into the epithelial-like Caco-2 and the microvascular endothelial HBMEC cell lines were...
