Influence of β1-integrin receptor expression for the uptake of
Y enterocolitica by HSCs. (A) Comparison of the uptake of Y enterocolitica into 3d-, 5d-, and 7d-HSCs in the absence and presence of human fibronectin (*P < .05, t test). The results from a representative experiment are presented as mean values and SDs (error bars). (B) Flow cytometry of surface marker expression of β1-integrin CD29 on quiescent and 7d-HSCs (black histograms). The x-axis of each histogram shows the log fluorescence intensity; the y-axis shows the relative cell number. Gray histograms represent staining with isotype-matched antibodies.
