<i>egc</i> proteins differ in their ability to induce vegetations.

Abstract

<p>Expression of SE<i>l</i>O, SE<i>l</i>M, SE<i>l</i>U, and SEI leads to vegetations. Expression of SEG and SE<i>l</i>N does not lead to development of vegetations. Horizontal lines represent the median. *<i>P</i> ≤ 0.05, **<i>P</i> ≤ 0.01, Mann-Whitney test. <i>P</i> ≤ 0.05 is considered statistically significant.</p
