Figure 4Glycolipid and LTA analysis. (
A) Comparison of glycolipid content of WT and Δ
iagA GBS strains using thin-layer chromatography. SA113 is a WT
S. aureus control. ELISA analysis of LTA of supernatant (S/N) (
B) or whole cells (
C) from WT and Δ
iagA strains or whole cells in a capsule-negative genetic background (
D). Supernatants or cells were analyzed at logarithmic (OD
600 = 0.4) or stationary (OD
600 = 2.0) phase as indicated. *
