Rapid Publications Glucosylated Collagen Is Antigenic
Sera from rats inoculated with in vitro glucosylated rat skin acid-soluble collagen were evaluated for specific antibody response using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The data indicate that the altered protein is capable of eliciting the production of antibodies, but unmodified collagen is not. The specificity of the generated antibodies appears to be directed toward the glucitollysine ...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Antigenic Determinants in Rat Skin Collagen
Immunological studies of rat skin collagen were carried out with a sensitive and quantitative radioimmunoassay. Hyperimmune rabbit antisera to rat skin collagen and isolated alpha2 chains were used. Iodine-labeled alpha chains and CNBr-produced peptides served as test antigens, and native collagen, alpha chains, and CNBr peptides were employed as inhibitors in the assay. The alpha1 and alpha2 c...
متن کاملGlucosylated sesquiterpene alcohols from Fraxinus griffithii.
Phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Fraxinus griffithii has led to the isolation of two new glucosylated acyclic sesquiterpene alcohols, griffithosides D (1) and E (2), along with iridoid and secoiridoid glycosides. The molecular structures of these compounds were elucidated using NMR, MS and other spectroscopic techniques, as well as comparison with literature data. The isolated compo...
متن کاملThe phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system is involved in sensitivity to the glucosylated bacteriocin sublancin.
The mode of action of a group of glycosylated antimicrobial peptides known as glycocins remains to be elucidated. In the current study of one glycocin, sublancin, we identified the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) of Bacillus species as a key player in bacterial sensitivity. Sublancin kills several Gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus species and Staphylococcus aure...
متن کاملNew observations on antigenic diversification of RNA viruses. Antigenic variation is not dependent on immune selection.
Recent results have revealed novel features in the process of antigenic diversification of FMDV. (i) Antigenic variation is not necessarily the result of immune selection. (ii) Single, critical amino acid replacements may either have a minor effect on antigenic specificity or cause a drastic antigenic change affecting many epitopes on an antigenic site. (iii) The effect of such a critical repla...
