Abstract excerpt
The uptake of Listeria monocytogenes by a variety of cell types in vitro is facilitated by the protein products of the inlAB (internalin) operon expressed by the organism. In the case of mouse hepatocytes, the extent to which inlAB expression influenced the uptake of Listeria in vitro was markedly dependent upon the ratio of bacteria to cells. At a ratio of 100:1, greater than 40-fold fewer transposon-induced...
