From: Participation of ezrin in bacterial uptake by trophoblast giant cells
Effect of MβCD treatment and depletion of ezrin on distribution of Hsc70. (A) Immunofluorescence staining of Hsc70 on TG cells that were not treated (Control), TG cells with reduced endogenous ezrin by siRNA (siRNA ezrin), and TG cells treated with 10 mg/ml MβCD (MβCD). Scale bar indicate 50 μm. (B) Heat-killed B. abortus were deposited onto TG cells that were treated with MβCD at the indicated concentrations for 30 min. The uptake efficiency is shown as relative uptake rate. Data are the averages of triplicate samples from three identical experiments. Error bars represent standard deviation. Statistically significant differences from TG cells that were not treated are indicated by asterisks (*, P < 0.01).
