Adjuvant activity of Mycobacterium leprae.
Mycobacterium leprae organisms isolated from infected spleen and liver tissue by zonal centrifugation were shown to possess adjuvant activity. Histochemical examination of the footpad macrophage epithelioid granuloma showed that macrophages contained large amounts of hemosiderin after the injection of M. leprae and much smaller amounts after the injection of M. tuberculosis.
متن کاملAdenylate kinase activity in ABC transporters.
ABC transporters are remarkably versatile machines that move a wide array of substances, including both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules across membranes (1-4). They are constructed with a modular design; each transporter has two nucleotidebinding domains (NBDs) and two membrane-spanning domains (often comprising six transmembrane helices). The NBDs are highly conserved modules that intera...
متن کاملActivity of ofloxacin and pefloxacin against Mycobacterium leprae in mice.
The fluorinated quinolones are potent antibacterial compounds active against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria (1, 3-5, 11-13). Some are also active against mycobacteria in general (3, 9, 10, 13) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in particular (1; unpublished observations). In view of the limited number of drugs active against Mycobacterium leprae, it was of interest to test some of th...
متن کاملDNA metabolism in Mycobacterium leprae.
Understanding the molecular basis underlying the hallmark features of Mycobacterium leprae, such as its parasitism and extraordinarily slow growth rate, has stimulated research into the biology of this pathogen for decades, but it is through the completion of its genome sequence that a quantum leap of progress has been achieved. 1 ln this review, we analyse the genes in M. leprae that are invol...
متن کاملDapsone resistance in Mycobacterium leprae.
The folP1 gene of Mycobacterium leprae, which encodes dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS), was studied for the presence of mutations associated with resistance to dapsone (DDS). When the folP1 of several DDS-resistant clinical isolates of M. leprae were sequenced, two missense mutations were identified. One mutation occurred at codon 53, substituting isoleucine for threonine in DHPS-1, and a second...
