A common-immunogenic Vibrio outer membrane protein

Characterization of outer membrane protein OmpU of Vibrio cholerae O1.

The outer membrane protein OmpU of Vibrio cholerae O1 strain 86B3 was characterized with reference to colonization of the intestine by the organism. The purified OmpU exhibited a pI of 3.6. Upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, it migrated to 38, 32, and 110 kDa when the sample was heated at 100 degrees C for 2 min, 50 degrees C for 15 min, and room temperature for 30 ...

cloning of vibrio cholerae outer membrane protein w in pichia pastoris.

background and objective: the outer membrane protein w ( ompw ) of vibrio cholerae is involved in stimulating the im- mune response via induction of protective immunity. it also plays an important role in bacterial pathogenesis by increasing the adaptability of pathogenic strains. in this study we aimed to clone v. cholerae ompw gene in the strain x-33 of pichia pastoris. materials and methods:...

Characterization of a predominant immunogenic outer membrane protein of Riemerella anatipestifer.

The ompA gene, encoding the 42-kDa major antigenic outer membrane protein OmpA of Riemerella anatipestifer, the etiololgical agent of septicemia anserum exsudativa, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant OmpA displayed a molecular mass similar to that predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the ompA gene but lower than that observed in total cell lysates of R. anatipestifer...

In Silico Studies of Outer Membrane of Neisseria Meningitidis PorA: Its Expression and Immunogenic Properties

Neisseria meningitidis is a major causative agent of bacterial septicemia and meningitis in humans. Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent disease caused by strains of N.meningitidis serogroup B. The Class 1 Outer Membrane Protein (OMP) has been named porA which is a cation selective transmembrane protein of 45 KDa that forms trimeric pore in the meningococcal outer membrane. PorA from ser...
