Figure 1From: Functional genomics of human bronchial epithelial cells directly interacting with conidia of Aspergillus fumigatusLocalization of A. fumigatus conidia within the epithelial cell monolayer. GFP-expressing A. fumigatus conidia and 16HBE14o- cells were co-incubated for 6 hrs, fixed and then stained with DAPI to localize nuclei (blue) and an antibody to adherens junction protein, E-cadherin, to localize cell membranes (red), which were visualized using confocal microscopy. GFP-expressing A. fumigatus conidia (green) found within 16HBE14o- cells, are highlighted by the white arrows in the XY plane and white circles in the XZ and YZ planes.Back to article page
