Outer membrane vesicle-mediated serum protection in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2020 Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans belongs to the HACEK group of fastidious Gram-negative organisms, a recognized cause of infective endocarditis. A. actinomycetemcomitans is also implicated in periodontitis, with rapid progress in adolescents.

Proteomics of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Outer Membrane Vesicles
PLOS ONE, 2015 Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is an oral and systemic pathogen associated with aggressive forms of periodontitis and with endocarditis. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) released by this species have been demonstrated to deliver effector proteins such as cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) and leukotoxin (LtxA) into human host cells and to act as ...

The lethal cargo of Myxococcus xanthus outer membrane vesicles [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Myxococcus xanthus is a bacterial micro-predator known for hunting other microbes in a wolf pack-like manner. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are produced in large quantities by M. xanthus and have a highly organized structure in the extracellular milieu, sometimes occurring in chains that link neighboring cells within a biofilm.

Retinal glycoprotein enrichment by concanavalin a enabled identification of novel membrane autoantigen synaptotagmin-1 in equine recurrent uveitis. [PDF]
, 2012 Complete knowledge of autoantigen spectra is crucial for understanding pathomechanisms of autoimmune diseases like equine recurrent uveitis (ERU), a spontaneous model for human autoimmune uveitis. While several ERU autoantigens were identified previously,
