IgE‐Binding Bacterial Components Not Yet Documented in the Allergen Databases and Their Allergenic Mechanisms: An EAACI Position Paper

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among bacteria that are associated with the development and/or exacerbation of allergic/atopic diseases, several have been described to produce IgE‐binding components. However, only one bacterial protein, Bac s 1, is currently listed in the official database of the World Health Organization/International Union of Immunological Societies (WHO ...

In vivo analysis of Chlamydia stress response [PDF]

, 2015
Bacteria encode heat shock proteins that aid in survival during stressful growth conditions. In addition, the major heat shock proteins of the intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis have been associated with immune pathology and disease.

Identification of Chlamydial Iron-Responsive Proteins during Intracellular Growth. [PDF]

, 2008
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the most prevalent cause of bacterial sexually transmitted disease. Genital chlamydial infections, marked by chronic, intense inflammation, can lead to genital tissue scarring and ...

Toward a Politics of (In)Fertility: Reproductive Debility in Africa

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa has some of the highest estimated rates of infertility or involuntary childlessness in the world, leading epidemiologists to refer to parts of the region as the “infertility belt.” The medicalization of infertility and the situating of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) as the treatment for infertility have siphoned ...

Protein expression profiles of Chlamydia pneumoniae in models of persistence versus those of heat shock stress response

, 2006
Chlamydia pneumoniae is an obligate intracellular pathogen that causes both acute and chronic human disease. Several in vitro models of chlamydial persistence have been established to mimic chlamydial persistence in vivo.

Haematology and biochemistry parameters for koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) on Raymond Island, Victoria: use of point‐of‐care analysers

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Biochemistry and haematology analytes can provide information on the health status of individual animals or populations in direct comparison to expected values or reference intervals developed using the same analysis methodology from a healthy reference population of the target species. Point‐of‐care analysers are increasingly used in the assessment of

Chlamydial polymorphic membrane proteins: regulation, function and potential vaccine candidates

, 2016
Pmps (Polymorphic Membrane Proteins) are a group of membrane bound surface exposed chlamydial proteins that have been characterized as autotransporter adhesins and are important in the initial phase of chlamydial infection.

Determination of the effect of JO146, a CtHtrA inhibitor, on the chlamydial developmental cycle and persistence [PDF]

, 2015
The role of Chlamydia trachomatis HtrA (CtHtrA) for the growth and pathogenesis of this organism is presented. Inhibition of CtHtrA led to loss of infectious progeny in Chlamydia, particularly during heat stress or recovery from penicillin persistence ...
