Immunogenicity analysis of Staphylococcus aureus clumping factor A genetic variants.
The staphylococcal adhesin clumping factor A (ClfA) has a variant amino acid sequence, generating the potential for alterations in epitope structure and immunogenicity of this vaccine candidate. We demonstrated for two recombinant ClfA(40-531) (a slightly truncated version of the fibrinogen-binding domain of ClfA containing amino acids 40 to 531) genetic variants that strain-specific epitopes a...
متن کاملFibrinogen-binding protein/clumping factor from Staphylococcus aureus.
The binding of staphylococcal components to fibrinogen was studied. Fibrinogen-binding material from lysed staphylococcal cells or culture supernatants was affinity purified on fibrinogen-Sepharose and analyzed on Western (immuno-) blots by the use of fibrinogen and antifibrinogen antibodies. Two main bands of 87 and 19 kilodaltons (kDa) and a weaker band of 35 kDa bound specifically to fibrino...
متن کاملStaphylococcus aureus Clumping Factor A Remains a Viable Vaccine Target for Prevention of S. aureus Infection
In a recent article, X. Li et al. [mBio 7(1):e02232-15, 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/mBio.02232-15] investigate the utility of a vaccine composed of the Staphylococcus aureus protein clumping factor A (ClfA) in protecting mice from S. aureus infection. ClfA, one of the first proteins to be identified as a potential vaccine antigen for S. aureus prophylaxis, is currently a component of severa...
متن کاملConstruction of a New Fusion Protein Vector Associated to Fibronectin Binding Protein A and Clumping Factor A Derived from Staphylococcus aureus NCTC8325
Objective(s) Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of many nosocomial and community acquired infections. According to many reports, antibiotic therapy can not guarantee the eradication of S. aureus infections. Thus designing an adhesin based vaccine could restrain the S. aureus infections. This study designed for construction of a new fusion protein vaccine against S. aureus infections base...
متن کاملClumping factor A of Staphylococcus aureus interacts with AnnexinA2 on mammary epithelial cells
Staphylococcus aureus is one of major pathogens that can cause a series of diseases in different hosts. In the bovine, it mainly causes subclinical and contagious mastitis, but its mechanisms of infection are not fully understood. Considering the fact that virulence factors play key roles in interactions between the bacterium and host cells, this study aimed to identify if a binding partner of ...
