Prediction of antigenic determinants and secondary structures of the K88 and CFA1 fimbrial proteins from enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.
Recently the amino acid sequences of the K88ab and the CFA1 fimbrial proteins from enteropathogenic Escherichia coli have become available. To elucidate the immunological interrelationships among the K88 family of antigenic variants, and to estimate the nature and position of the antigenic determinants in the K88 and CFA1 proteins, the positions of these features in the amino acid sequences hav...
متن کاملProduction and characterization of monoclonal antibodies to a pilus colonization factor (colonization factor antigen III) of human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.
Three monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to a pilus colonization factor (colonization factor antigen III [CFA/III]) of human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) were developed and characterized. All of the MAbs isolated belonged to the immunoglobulin G2a subclass. The specificity of these MAbs for CFA/III pili was demonstrated by the immunogold-labeling technique. The presence of more than one ep...
متن کاملDebaryomyces hansenii colonization and its protein profile in psoriasis
Background: Psoriasis is an immune mediated skin disorderwhich is mainly characterized by abnormal proliferation anddifferentiation of keratinocytes. It is believed that Debaryomyceshansenii (Candida famata) can colonize skin and mucous membranesof psoriatic patients and exacerbate psoriatic lesions via toxins,antigens, and proteins. The aims of this study were to evaluateDebaryomyces hansenii ...
متن کاملHeterobinary adhesins based on the Escherichia coli FimH fimbrial protein.
The FimH adhesin of Escherichia coli type 1 fimbriae confers the ability to bind to D-mannosides by virtue of a receptor-binding domain located in its N-terminal region. This protein was engineered into a heterobifunctional adhesin by introducing a secondary binding site in the C-terminal region. The insertion of histidine clusters into this site resulted in coordination of various metal ions b...
متن کاملAdhesion properties of a putative polymorphic fimbrial subunit protein from Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum
In our previous study, we found that the open reading frame bl0675 in the genome of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum isolated from human feces encoded a novel putative fimbrial protein, was highly polymorphic, and had five variants (A, B, C, D, and E types). The aim of this study was to evaluate the affinity of these variants to porcine colonic mucins (PCMs). Protein-binding properties were...
