Immunogenic response of IgY polyclonal antibody 35 kDa outer membrane protein (OMP) adherence protein of Proteus mirabilis

Overexpression of an Outer Membrane Protein Associated with Decreased Susceptibility to Carbapenems in Proteus mirabilis

Proteus mirabilis isolates commonly have decreased susceptibility to imipenem. Previously, we found P. mirabilis hfq mutant was more resistant to imipenem and an outer membrane protein (OMP) could be involved. Therefore, we investigated the role of this OMP in carbapenem susceptibility. By SDS-PAGE we found this OMP (named ImpR) was increased in hfq mutant and LC-MS/MS revealed it to be the hom...

Regulator of G-protein signaling 5 Antibody, Chicken IgY Polyclonal Antibody

Production of antibody against a synthetic peptide of Porphyromonas gingivalis 40-kDa outer membrane protein.

Porphyromonas gingivalis has been implicated as a major pathogen in periodontal diseases. We previously cloned a 40-kDa outer membrane protein (OMP) gene from P. gingivalis 381 and succeeded in producing sufficient quantities of the recombinant protein for experimental use. Since antibodies against the recombinant (r) 40-kDa OMP have potent ability to kill P. gingivalis cells by complement acti...

Production of specific IgY antibody to the recombinant FanC protein produced in Escherichia coli

Objective(s): Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains are one of the primary causes of diarrhea in newborn calves and in humans, pigs, and sheep. IgY technology has been identified as a promising alternative to generating a mass amount of specific antibody for use in immunotherapy and immunodiagnostics. The purpose of this study was to produce specific antibody by egg yolk antibody (IgY...

Production and characterization of polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide from β-actin protein

Objective(s):Antibodies against actin, as one of the most widely studied structural and multifunctional housekeeping proteins in eukaryotic cells, are used as internal loading controls in western blot analyses. The aim of this study was to produce polyclonal antibody against a synthetic peptide derived from N-terminal region of β-actin protein to be used as a protein loading control in western ...
