Figure 7

Temperature and metabolic requirement of TM transport.

(A) TM transport declines after death, suggesting a metabolic requirement. (B) Recovery of TMT-3 peptide phage from the ME after incubation of 1010 phage particles on the exterior surface of the ex vivo for 1-hr at 37 °C versus 4 °C. The temperature dependence of TMT-3 peptide recovery may also suggest active transport across the TM.
