Production 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 کاملShear-enhanced binding of intestinal colonization factor antigen I of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.
In the intestine, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli works against peristaltic forces, adhering to the epithelium via the colonization factor antigen I (CFA/I) fimbrial adhesin CfaE. The CfaE adhesin is similar in localization and tertiary (but not primary) structure to FimH, the type 1 fimbrial adhesin of uropathogenic E. coli, which shows shear-dependent binding to epithelial receptors by an al...
متن کاملIdentification of Novel Components Influencing Colonization Factor Antigen I Expression in Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Colonization factors (CFs) mediate early adhesion of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in the small intestine. Environmental signals including bile, glucose, and contact with epithelial cells have previously been shown to modulate CF expression in a strain dependent manner. To identify novel components modulating CF surface expression, 20 components relevant to the intestinal environment ...
متن کاملProduction, Purification and Characterization of Chicken Egg Yolk Monoclonal Antibody Against Colonization factor antigen -1 of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Causing Diarrhea
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) causes diarrhea in both humans and animals. The contaminated food and water are the most common vehicles for ETEC infection. The colonization factor antigen (CFA-1) is a fimbriae protein that promotes adherence of the ETEC strain to the epithelium of the small intestine of the host. In this study IgY proteins were produced against the CFA-1 of ETEC in imm...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies against the different subcomponents of colonization factor antigen II of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the different coli surface antigens CS1, CS2, and CS3 of colonization factor antigen II (CFA/II) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) were generated by fusing F/O myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with different preparations of purified CFA/II. Five hybrids that produced antibodies specific for CS1, CS2, or CS3 in high titer we...
