A nontoxic Pseudomonas exotoxin A induces active immunity and passive protective antibody against Pseudomonas exotoxin A intoxication.
Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) is one of the most potent cytotoxic agents produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study, we examined the possibility of using PE with a deletion of 38 carboxyl-terminal amino acid residues, designated PE(Delta576-613), for active immunization against PE-mediated disease. We first examined the toxic effects of PE and PE(Delta576-613) on 5- and 9-week-old ICR mice...
متن کاملPassive immunity against human pathogens using bovine antibodies.
The control and treatment of infectious diseases is increasingly complicated by the development of antibiotic-resistant organisms, the emergence and rapid dissemination of new pathogens, and the growing incidence of opportunistic infections. Identification and commercialization of new anti-microbial agents has always been a time-consuming and expensive process, and development of new strategies...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis: passive immunotherapy with antibodies raised against divalent flagellin
Objective(s): Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections such as keratitis are considered among the major health problems worldwide due to the complexity of pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance crisis, thus, finding new effective approaches for prevention and treatment of the infections seem to be still vital. In this report, we aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of topical administration of...
متن کاملArabidopsis PECTIN METHYLESTERASEs contribute to immunity against Pseudomonas syringae.
Pectins, major components of dicot cell walls, are synthesized in a heavily methylesterified form in the Golgi and are partially deesterified by pectin methylesterases (PMEs) upon export to the cell wall. PME activity is important for the virulence of the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Here, the roles of Arabidopsis PMEs in pattern-triggered immunity and immune responses to the ...
متن کاملComplement-induced impairment of innate immunity during sepsis.
This study defines the molecular basis for defects in innate immunity involving neutrophils during cecal ligation/puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis in rats. Blood neutrophils from CLP rats demonstrated defective phagocytosis and defective assembly of NADPH oxidase, the latter being due to the inability of p47(phox) to translocate from the cytosol to the cell membrane of neutrophils after cell stimu...
