Lipopolysaccharide complexes with Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin.
The presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in gram-negative bacterial repeats-in-toxin (RTX) toxin preparations, as well as the harsh conditions required to remove it, suggests that LPS may complex with RTX toxins. Concentrated culture supernatant (CCS) preparations of the RTX toxin Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin (LKT) contained LKT and LPS as the most prominent components, with LKT and LPS c...
متن کاملPulmonary Endothelial Cells by Pasteurella haemolytica Leukotoxin
In this study, we used an in vitro coculture system to determine which virulence factor from Pasteurella haemolytica Al was responsible for augmenting bovine polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN)-mediated killing of bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells (BPAEC). A 5"Cr release cytotoxicity assay was used as a measure of BPAEC killing. The mechanisms associated with this BPAEC killing were also...
متن کاملBinding of Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin to bovine leukocytes.
Pasteurella haemolytica is the principal bacterial pathogen in the bovine respiratory disease complex. This organism produces an exotoxin (referred to as leukotoxin) during logarithmic-phase growth that is a potent leukocyte-modulating agent. At low concentrations, it activates neutrophils and mononuclear phagocytes to release inflammatory mediators, while at the same time making these cells de...
متن کاملActivation of bovine neutrophils by partially purified Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin.
In this study we developed a new method for the partial purification of Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin by size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography. The partially purified leukotoxin had a molecular weight of 104,000, as estimated by using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and reacted on an immunoblot with an antileukotoxin monoclonal antibody. As expect...
متن کاملCharacterization of Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica leukotoxin interaction with bovine alveolar macrophage beta2 integrins.
Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica, the etiologic agent of bovine pneumonic mannheimiosis, produces an exotoxic leukotoxin. The leukotoxin (LktA) is a member of the RTX (repeats in toxin) family of bacterial cytolysins and is distinguished from other toxins by its unique target cell specificity to ruminant leukocytes occurring through binding to a specific receptor. We have demonstrated previ...
