Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition Proteins in Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 [PDF]

, 2018
Bacterial contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) systems are two-partner secretion systems in which toxic CdiA proteins are exported on the outer membrane by cognate transporter CdiB proteins. Upon binding to specific receptors, the C-terminal toxic

RNF213 Is an Interferon‐Stimulated Gene That Targets Influenza A Virus NP and Activates MDA5 to Restrict Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RNF213 is characterized as a dual‐functional antiviral effector. It directly mediates the degradation of the influenza A virus nucleoprotein (NP) while simultaneously activating the MDA5‐mediated innate immune signaling pathway. This coordinated response establishes a powerful host defense system against viral infection. ABSTRACT Influenza A virus (IAV)

The Highly Productive Thermothelomyces heterothallica C1 Expression System as a Host for Rapid Development of Influenza Vaccines

Vaccines, 2022
(1) Influenza viruses constantly change and evade prior immune responses, forcing seasonal re-vaccinations with updated vaccines. Current FDA-approved vaccine manufacturing technologies are too slow and/or expensive to quickly adapt to mid-season changes

The power of many: when genetics met yeasts and high‐throughput

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, complex technological capabilities have evolved, driven by the need to solve complex and integrative biological questions through global analyses. New equipment allows the scaling up and automation of processes which previously were carried out on a very limited scale.

Identification of immunodominant epitopes in the filamentous hemagglutinin ofBordetella pertussis [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1999
The filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) of Bordetella pertussis is a principal adhesin, which plays a key role in the colonization of the upper respiratory tract. FHA is also a protective antigen, which has been incorporated in the new generation of acellular vaccines against whooping cough. The protein is synthesized as a large 367-kDa precursor, which is

Characterization of Protein Involved in Hemolysis Expressed by Sneathia amnii, a Pathogen of the Female Urogenital Tract [PDF]

, 2019
Sneathia amnii is a poorly characterized gram-negative anaerobe that commonly colonizes the vagina. It has been linked to many obstetric disorders, including preterm labor, preeclampsia, and chorioamnionitis. S.

Protection against pertussis in humans correlates to elevated serum antibodies and memory B cells [PDF]

, 2017
Pertussis is a respiratory infection caused by Bordetella pertussis that may be particularly severe and even lethal in the first months of life when infants are still too young to be vaccinated. Adults and adolescents experience mild symptoms and are the

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

A novel method for the extraction of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Bordetella pertussis Tohama strain

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2020
Background and Objectives: There are many pertussis outbreaks which is mainly due to the reduction in the immunity of acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines. Therefore, there is a crucial necessity to develop a new generation of pertussis vaccine.

Antibodies to Bordetella pertussis antigens in maternal and cord blood pairs: a Thai cohort study [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background Pertussis is a vaccine-preventable disease, yet an increasing incidence of pertussis occurs in many countries. Thailand has a long-standing pertussis vaccination policy, therefore most expectant mothers today had received vaccines as children.
