Binding of the lipoteichoic acids of Bifidobacterium bifidum to human colonic epithelial cells appeared to be specific, reversible, and cell concentration and time dependent. A single population of approximately 8.3 X 10(8) binding sites per cell was detected, with a dissociation constant of 125 microM. Ester-linked fatty acids are essential for binding.
