The<i>ex vivo</i>response of human intestinal mucosa to enteropathogenic<i>Escherichia coli</i>infection
11 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
In vitro organ culture (IVOC) represents a gold standard model to study enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infection of human intestinal mucosa. However, the optimal examination of the bacterial-host cell interaction requires a directional epithelial exposure, without serosal or cut surface stimulation. A polarized IVOC system (pIVOC) was developed in order to overcome such limitations: apical EPEC infection...
