Figures
- FIG. 1.
Strips of romaine lettuce were viewed under a dissecting microscope (A and B) or a confocal microscope (C and D), after the application of rNVLP (A and C) or PBS (B and D), followed by antibody staining. Red, autofluorescence of romaine leaves; green, rNVLP.
- FIG. 2.
Wells of a plate were coated with PBS, PGM, or the listed dilution amount of RE, and rNVLP binding was assayed by ELISA. Error bars represent standard deviations (SD).
- FIG. 3.
Comparison between rNVLP binding to PGM and RE was assayed by ELISA. (A) The involvement of sugar and protein moieties in rNVLP binding was determined by treatment of PGM or RE with KIO4 or after being boiled. (B) Competition assay in which rNVLP were preincubated with the listed dilution amount of RE prior to incubation on PGM-coated plates. (C) rNVLP were preincubated with the listed amount of PGM prior to incubation on RE-coated plates. Error bars represent SD.
- FIG. 4.
Wells of a plate were coated with extracts from each of the different listed vegetables, and rNVLP binding was assayed by ELISA. Error bars represent SD.
- FIG. 5.
rNVLP binding to the surfaces of cilantro (A), iceberg lettuce (B), celery (C), and spinach (D) was assayed by confocal microscopy. Red, autofluorescence of vegetable; green, rNVLP.
