Figure 5From: EEVD motif of heat shock cognate protein 70 contributes to bacterial uptake by trophoblast giant cellsControl of infectious abortion by protein interaction via the EEVD motif of Hsc70. Infectious abortion was prevented by blocking the EEVD motif of Hsc70. Pregnant mice were inoculated with R2-25, rat IgG (control), TPR-Ba and immunized with EEVD or sEEVD (CAPISEDGSGETV) peptides. Control received no treatment. Statistically significant differences between the untreated control and antibody treated mice are indicated by asterisks (*, P < 0.01).Back to article page
