Immunogenicity of heparin-binding hemagglutinin expressed by Pichia pastoris GS115 strain
Objective(s): Heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA), a mycobacterial cell surface protein, mediates adhesion to nonphagocytic cells and the dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) from the site of primary infection. Superior expression systems are required to obtain abundant M. tuberculosis proteins for the purpose of diagnosing M. tuberculosis infection or for the immuniza...
متن کاملChitin Degradation Proteins Produced by the Marine Bacterium Vibrio harveyi Growing on Different Forms of Chitin.
Relatively little is known about the number, diversity, and function of chitinases produced by bacteria, even though chitin is one of the most abundant polymers in nature. Because of the importance of chitin, especially in marine environments, we examined chitin-degrading proteins in the marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi. This bacterium had a higher growth rate and more chitinase activity when gr...
متن کاملEquine zygomycosis caused by Conidiobolus lamprauges.
A 15-year-old Arabian mare from southern Louisiana with a 2-month history of periodic epistaxis and severe weight loss had a large, fibrosing, granulomatous mass containing numerous nodules ("kunkers") projecting dorsally into the nasopharynx, and was euthanized at the owner's request. In addition to these kunkers, the mass contained a single trematode tentatively identified as Fasciola hepatic...
متن کاملAntigen Produced by Smooth and Rough Strains
Enterobacteriaceae share a common antigen (CA). This antigen exists as a powerful immunogen, when produced by Escherichia coli 014, and as a minimally effective immunogen, when present in cultures of most other smooth strains. The present study was directed toward the assessment of immunogenicity of this antigen produced by various rough mutants and their parent strains as well as that of viabl...
متن کاملChitin Is Endogenously Produced in Vertebrates
Chitin, a biopolymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is abundant in invertebrates and fungi and is an important structural molecule [1, 2]. There has been a longstanding belief that vertebrates do not produce chitin; however, we have obtained compelling evidence to the contrary. Chitin synthase genes are present in numerous fishes and amphibians, and chitin is localized in situ to the lumen of the deve...
