Epitope mapping of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa major outer membrane porin protein OprF.
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa major outer membrane protein OprF has been proposed for use as a vaccine and as a target for immunotherapeutic and diagnostic monoclonal antibodies. The well-conserved epitopes for 10 surface-reactive, OprF-specific monoclonal antibodies were localized by both overlapping peptide analysis and immunodetection of OprF peptides generated by cyanogen bromide and the prote...
متن کاملRecombinant 56-kilodalton major outer membrane protein antigen of Orientia tsutsugamushi Shanxi and its antigenicity.
The gene encoding the 56-kDa protein of Orientia tsutsugamushi Shanxi was amplified by a nested PCR and cloned into the expression vector pQE30. The 56-kDa protein of O. tsutsugamushi Shanxi (Sxh56) was expressed as a fusion protein with the His(6)-binding protein of Escherichia coli by deleting the signal peptide-encoding sequence from the 5' end of the open reading frame. The recombinant prot...
متن کاملEpitope mapping of the outer membrane protein P5-homologous fimbrin adhesin of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae.
To identify potential immunodominant and/or adhesin binding domains of the outer membrane protein P5-homologous fimbrin adhesin of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI), three sets of synthetic peptides were synthesized and assayed in an adherence inhibition assay, by Western blotting, and in a biomolecular interaction analysis (BIA) system. The first series of 34 8- to 10-mer peptides repr...
متن کاملRadioiodination of an outer membrane protein in intact Rickettsia prowazekii.
Intact Rickettsia prowazekii was radiolabeled with the glucose oxidase-lactoperoxidase method of iodination. Separation of the rickettsial extract into cytoplasmic, outer and inner membrane fractions demonstrated that the outer membrane was preferentially labeled. Analysis of the polypeptides of these fractions on high-resolution slab polyacrylamide gels showed that most of the 125I was in poly...
متن کاملIsolation of the outer membrane and characterization of the major outer membrane protein from Spirochaeta aurantia.
The outer membrane of Spirochaeta aurantia was isolated after cells were extracted with sodium lauryl sarcosinate and was subsequently purified by differential centrifugation and KBr isopycnic gradient centrifugation. The purified outer membrane was obtained in the form of carotenoid-containing vesicles. Four protein species with apparent molecular weights of 26,000 (26K), 36.5K, 41K, and 48.5K...
