Interaction of staphylococcal fibronectin binding protein (FnBP), TSST-1 and α-toxin with murine lymphocytes [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1992 The most restrictive factor in the inductive phase of immune response is the contact and adhesion of antigen-presenting cells and responding lymphocytes. We report the in vitro formation of aggregates (clusters) of murine T lymphocytes and dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with highly purified staphylococcal toxins (TSST-1, alpha-toxin) and gene-cloned ...

Antimicrobial peptides effectively kill a broad spectrum of Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus strains independently of origin, sub-type, or virulence factor expression [PDF]
, 2008 Background Host defense peptides (HDPs), or antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), are important components of the innate immune system that bacterial pathogens must overcome to establish an infection and HDPs have been suggested as novel antimicrobial ...

Sirtuin 3 deficiency does not alter host defenses against bacterial and fungal infections. [PDF]
, 2017 Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is the main mitochondrial deacetylase. SIRT3 regulates cell metabolism and redox homeostasis, and protects from aging and age-associated pathologies. SIRT3 may drive both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive effects.
