The interaction between carp glycophorin and
V. anguillarum was examined by titrating the glycophorin on a glass cover slip treated with poly-
l-lysine. After 20 min, the cover slip was dried in liquid carbon dioxide using a
Hitachi HCP-2 critical-point drying apparatus (Hitachi Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The cover slip was coated with platinum-palladium in a JEOL
JFC-1100 ion-sputtering apparatus (JEOL) and observed under a JEOL
JSM-T200 (SEM) operated at 10 kV.
The interaction of the carp glycophorin and
M. luteus was observed by a carbon rod (5 mmØ carbon rod, JEOL) on a cover slip, which was treated with poly-
l-lysine. After 40 min, the carbon plate was fixed with osmium tetroxide and stained to prevent the accumulation of a charge with tannic acid. The fixed carbon plate was dried in liquid carbon dioxide using a
Hitachi HCP-2 critical-point drying apparatus. The carbon plate was then coated with platinum-palladium in a JEOL
JFC-1100 ion-sputtering apparatus and observed under a
Hitachi S-4000 (SEM).
The glycophorin was negatively dyed using 2% phosphotungstic acid (pH 7.0) and observed under a
Hitachi H-800 (TEM).
