Genetic Fusion of an Anti-BclA Single-Domain Antibody with Beta Galactosidase

Antibodies, 2018
The Bacillus collagen-like protein of anthracis (BclA), found in Bacillus anthracis spores, is an attractive target for immunoassays. Previously, using phage display we had selected llama-derived single-domain antibodies that bound to B.

Bacillus anthracis Spore Surface Protein BclA Mediates Complement Factor H Binding to Spores and Promotes Spore Persistence. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Spores of Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, are known to persist in the host lungs for prolonged periods of time, however the underlying mechanism is poorly understood.

Bradyrhizobium BclA Is a Peptide Transporter Required for Bacterial Differentiation in Symbiosis with Aeschynomene Legumes

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2015
Nodules of legume plants are highly integrated symbiotic systems shaped by millions of years of evolution. They harbor nitrogen-fixing rhizobium bacteria called bacteroids. Several legume species produce peptides called nodule-specific cysteine-rich (NCR)

An Unusual Mechanism of Isopeptide Bond Formation Attaches the Collagenlike Glycoprotein BclA to the Exosporium of Bacillus anthracis

mBio, 2011
The outermost exosporium layer of spores of Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, is comprised of a basal layer and an external hairlike nap. The nap includes filaments composed of trimers of the collagenlike glycoprotein BclA.

BCLA CLEAR Presbyopia: Epidemiology and impact

Contact Lens and Anterior Eye
The global all-ages prevalence of epidemiologically-measured 'functional' presbyopia was estimated at 24.9% in 2015, affecting 1.8 billion people. This prevalence was projected to stabilise at 24.1% in 2030 due to increasing myopia, but to affect more people (2.1 billion) due to population dynamics.

Development of a text message intervention designed to promote safe contact lens wear. [PDF]

Ophthalmic Physiol Opt
Abstract Introduction Some contact lens wearers demonstrate poor compliance with hygiene behaviours which increase their risk of corneal infection. Text message interventions for behaviour change can provide support and education in healthcare domains. This study reports on the co‐design of a text message intervention to target hygiene compliance, user

A brain cyst load-associated antigen is a Toxoplasma gondii biomarker for serodetection of persistent parasites and chronic infection

BMC Biology, 2021
Background Biomarker discovery remains a major challenge for predictive medicine, in particular, in the context of chronic diseases. This is true for the widespread protozoan Toxoplasma gondii which establishes long-lasting parasitism in metazoans ...
