Hello Franz, seems like your positive control of LPS does not seem to be working either? I am assuming this is mean fluorescence intensity data plotted after conducting flow cytometry to analyze expression of the markers indicated. can you please provide more details regarding your experiment? Like for instance when did you measure the surface markers (i.e how long after incubation), did you use isotype controls in determining relative expression etc.?
What is your control? Would you be able to write the experimental details and represent the figure & legend in English please? I think you are not catching the dynamic range. Your control indicates some artifacts. Try to think about some interference. Let's know the experimental details.
I always use E. coli DH5alfa as a negative control in my experiments of adhesión and invasion of culture cells because this is considered non pathogenic and is not abe to adhere to cells. I work with Caco and RTG2 cells.
Entonces tu crees que la explicación mas adecuada a estos resultados sería la patogencidad de E coli mas que el tiempo de incubación? Te lo pregunto para poder enfocar de mejor forma la discusión de estos datos.
Efectivamente, en mi opinión la explicación a tus resultados estaría más con la falta de patogenicidad de la cepa de Escherichia coli utilizada. Suerte!
