To test this hypothesis, EBL cells were infected with M. bovis at an MOI of 20:1, plate count assays indicated a significant reduction in M. bovis adhesion in RBMX2-KO#17 and KO#23 EBL cells compared with WT EBL cells at 15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, and 2 hr post-infection (Figure 5—figure supplement 1A). Here, RBMX2 is linked to infection.
