Detection of Cells Translocated with Yersinia Yops in Infected Tissues Using β-Lactamase Fusions.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Development of the TEM-CCF2/4-AM FRET-based system has enabled investigators to track translocation of effector proteins into mammalian cells during infection. This allows for separation of translocated and non-translocated cell populations for further study. Yersinia strains expressing translational Yop-TEM fusions, containing the secretion and translocation signals of a Yop with the TEM-1 portion of β-lactamase, are used to infect mice, tissues isolated from mice, or mammalian cells in culture. Infected and harvested mammalian cells are treated with either CCF2-AM or CCF4-AM, and cleavage of this fluorescent compound by TEM is detected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. A shift from green to blue emission spectra of individual cells is indicative of translocation of a given Yop-TEM fusion protein into the host cell during Yersinia infection due to a disruption in FRET between the two fluors of the compound. In Yersinia, this method has been used to understand Type III secretion dynamics and Yop functions in cells translocated by effectors during infection. Here, we describe how to generate Yop-TEM constructs, and how to detect, quantify, isolate, and study Yop-TEM containing cells in murine tissues during infection and in ex vivo tissues by cell sorting and flow cytometry analysis. In addition, we provide guidance for analyzing TEM-positive cells via a plate reader and fluorescent microscopy.
