Differentially expressed genes in Bordetella pertussis strains belonging to a lineage which recently spread globally. [PDF]
Pertussis is a highly contagious, acute respiratory disease in humans caused by the Gram-negative pathogen Bordetella pertussis. Pertussis has resurged in the face of intensive vaccination and this has coincided with the emergence of strains carrying a ...

G(i)-coupled GPCR signaling controls the formation and organization of human pluripotent colonies. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Reprogramming adult human somatic cells to create human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cell colonies involves a dramatic morphological and organizational transition.

Lymphocyte receptors for pertussis toxin [PDF]
We have investigated human T-lymphocyte receptors for pertussis toxin by affinity isolation and photoaffinity labeling procedures. T lymphocytes were obtained from peripheral human blood, surface iodinated, and solubilized in Triton X-100. The iodinated mixture was then passed through pertussis toxin-agarose, and the fractions were analyzed by sodium ...

Development of a qualitative assay for screening of Bordetella pertussis isolates for pertussis toxin production. [PDF]
Bordetella pertussis infection has been increasing in the US, with reported cases reaching over 50,000 in 2012, a number last observed in the 1950s. Concurrently, B. pertussis lacking the pertactin protein, one of the immunogens included in the acellular

The ins and outs of pertussis toxin [PDF]
Pertussis toxin, produced and secreted by the whooping cough agentBordetella pertussis, is one of the most complex soluble bacterial proteins. It is actively secreted through theB. pertussiscell envelope by the Ptl secretion system, a member of the widespread type IV secretion systems. The toxin is composed of five subunits (named S1 to S5 according to

Lectinlike properties of pertussis toxin [PDF]
We have examined the lectinlike properties of pertussis toxin by binding-inhibition assays and affinity chromatography of goose erythrocyte membranes. Although pertussis toxin and wheat germ agglutinin apparently recognize similar sugar sequences on glycoproteins, the binding activities of the two lectins are not identical.
