<p>(A) Western blot of <i>G.vaginalis</i> 14018 lysate probed with rabbit polyclonal antiserum (1∶500,000 dilution). Numbers represent approximate MW in kD (B) Immunofluorescent detection of VLY production by <i>G.vaginalis</i> using pre-immune rabbit serum (bottom panel) or anti-VLY antiserum (top panel). Anti-rabbit IgG-AF488 was the secondary antibody (green). DNA staining with DAPI demonstrates bacteria in both panels (blue). Scale bar: 10 µm.</p
