NTHi can efficiently take up and incorporate Neu5Gc. (A) Dose-dependent uptake and expression of NTHi (2019) grown in a Sia-free defined media with 0.1 µM–1 mM Neu5Gc. Neu5Gc was detected by flow cytometry analysis using a chicken anti-Neu5Gc IgY antibody. (B) 2019 grown in 1 mM Neu5Gc were treated with sialidase (sialidase) or heat-inactivated sialidase (mock sialidase) and probed with a chicken anti-Neu5Gc IgY antibody in a whole-cell ELISA. Data are representative of greater than three independent experiments and show the mean of triplicate absorbance values at OD405. Error bars represent SD.
