Lactoferrin-binding proteins in Shigella flexneri [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1992
The ability of Shigella flexneri to interact with lactoferrin (Lf) was examined with a 125I-labeled protein-binding assay. The percent binding of human lactoferrin (HLf) and bovine lactoferrin (BLf) to 45 S. flexneri strains was 19 +/- 3 and 21 +/- 3 (mean +/- standard error of the mean), respectively.
