Evidence Suggesting That Francisella tularensis O-Antigen Capsule Contains a Lipid A-Like Molecule That Is Structurally Distinct from the More Abundant Free Lipid A. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Francisella tularensis, the Gram-negative bacterium that causes tularemia, produces a high molecular weight capsule that is immunologically distinct from Francisella lipopolysaccharide but contains the same O-antigen tetrasaccharide.

The AIM2 inflammasome is critical for innate immunity to Francisella tularensis. [PDF]
, 2010 Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, infects host macrophages, which triggers production of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-18. We elucidate here how host macrophages recognize F.

The Biosynthetic Pathway of Ubiquinone Contributes to Pathogenicity of Francisella novicida
bioRxiv, 2021 Francisella tularensis is the causative bacterium of tularemia and is classified as a biothreat agent. Using multidisciplinary approaches, we investigated the ubiquinone (UQ) biosynthetic pathway that operates in F. novicida used as a surrogate. ABSTRACT

Early infection-induced natural antibody response
Scientific Reports, 2021 There remains to this day a great gap in understanding as to the role of B cells and their products—antibodies and cytokines—in mediating the protective response to Francisella tularensis, a Gram-negative coccobacillus belonging to the group of ...
