Transferrin and, to a lesser extent, insulin were two components of serum that enhanced the survival of Treponema pallidum in microaerophilic, acellular medium. These two components also enhanced the attachment of T pallidum to baby rabbit genital organ (BRGO) cells in both aerobic and microaerophilic tissue culture systems. Growth hormone and epidermal growth factor marginally enhanced the attachment of T pallidum to BRGO cells.
转铁蛋白以及程度稍低的胰岛素是血清中的两种成分,它们可提高梅毒螺旋体在微需氧无细胞培养基中的存活率。在需氧和微需氧组织培养系统中,这两种成分还能增强梅毒螺旋体与幼兔生殖器官(BRGO)细胞的附着。生长激素和表皮生长因子对梅毒螺旋体与BRGO细胞的附着有轻微增强作用。
