Fig. 9. Inhibition of invasion and ruffling upon Ena/VASP sequestration. The percentage of intracellular InlB-coated latex beads or bacteria, as well as the percentage of cells forming ruffles upon InlB stimulation, was determined in Vero cells, non transfected (NT) or transiently transfected with APPPP-Mito or FPPPP-mito. The percentage in non-transfected cells has been assigned a value of 100. The level of entry or of ruffling in transfected cells is given as a relative value. Values are the mean±s.d. of at least three independent experiments.
