Phagosomal processing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen 85B is modulated independently of mycobacterial viability and phagosome maturation.
Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection requires CD4 T-cell responses and major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) processing of M. tuberculosis antigens (Ags). We have previously demonstrated that macrophages process heat-killed (HK) M. tuberculosis more efficiently than live M. tuberculosis. These observations suggested that live M. tuberculosis may inhibit Ag processing by ...
متن کاملDifferential Identification of Mycobacterial Species Using High-Resolution Melting Analysis
Infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing wordwide. Due to the difference in treatment of NTM infections and tuberculosis, rapid species identification of mycobacterial clinical isolates is necessary for the effective management of mycobacterial diseases treatment and their control strategy. In this study, a cost-effective technique, real-time PCR coupled with high-r...
متن کاملIdentification of Novel sRNAs in Mycobacterial Species
Bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs) are short transcripts that typically do not encode proteins and often act as regulators of gene expression through a variety of mechanisms. Regulatory sRNAs have been identified in many species, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis. Here, we use a computational algorithm to predict sRNA candidates in the mycobacterial species M. ...
متن کاملSpecies Specific DNA Profiling Mycobacterial Genomes Using Polymerase Chain Reaction with Single Universal Primer (UP-PCR)
Three tuberculous, twenty-one non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) reference strains and seventy two isolates classified by biochemical tests were shown to produce specific sets of DNA fragments in a polymerase chain reaction with single universal primer (UP-PCR). A rather wide limit of tolerance for variations in procedure of PCR mixture preparation and thermocycling parameters was found. There...
متن کاملPeptidomic Identification of Serum Peptides Diagnosing Preeclampsia
We sought to identify serological markers capable of diagnosing preeclampsia (PE). We performed serum peptide analysis (liquid chromatography mass spectrometry) of 62 unique samples from 31 PE patients and 31 healthy pregnant controls, with two-thirds used as a training set and the other third as a testing set. Differential serum peptide profiling identified 52 significant serum peptides, and a...
