Outer membrane proteins of pathogenic spirochetes.
Pathogenic spirochetes are the causative agents of several important diseases including syphilis, Lyme disease, leptospirosis, swine dysentery, periodontal disease and some forms of relapsing fever. Spirochetal bacteria possess two membranes and the proteins present in the outer membrane are at the site of interaction with host tissue and the immune system. This review describes the current kno...
متن کاملOuter membrane proteins of Pseudomonas.
In this review, we describe the outer membrane proteins of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and related strains from the Pseudomonas fluorescens rRNA homology group of the Pseudomonadaceae, with emphasis on the physiological function and biochemical characteristics of these proteins. The use of opr (for outer membrane protein) is proposed as the genetic designation for the P. aeruginosa outer membrane pr...
متن کاملISOLATION AND PURIFICATION OF MAJOR OUTER MEMBRANE PROTEINS FROM BRUCELLA ABORTUS S-99
Isolation and purification of major outer membrane proteins (OMP) from the cell wall envelope of Brucella abortus S-99 were achieved by sonication, solubilization and membrane fractionation in the presence of non-ionic detergent (Tx-100) and lysozyme treatments, followed by ultracentrifugation. The crude OMP was treated with trypsin to free the preparation from any other protein contaminan...
متن کاملCharacterization of Francisella tularensis outer membrane proteins.
Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative coccobacillus that is capable of causing severe, fatal disease in a number of mammalian species, including humans. Little is known about the proteins that are surface exposed on the outer membrane (OM) of F. tularensis, yet identification of such proteins is potentially fundamental to understanding the initial infection process, intracellular survival, ...
متن کاملExtraction of the Outer Membrane Proteins of H. pylori and Evaluation of Their Presence in Stool of the Infected Individuals
Helicobacter pylori infections are accompanied with the release of some antigenic material into the stool. Outer membranes proteins (OMP) are among the major antigens of bacteria, which in comparison with other bacterial constituents have less cross-reactivity. In this study, OMP of H. pylori were isolated from 11 clinical isolates and rabbit antiserum against them was used to detect possible a...
