Characterization of lactoferrin binding by Aeromonas hydrophila.
Various lactoferrin preparations (iron-saturated and iron-depleted human milk lactoferrins and bovine milk and colostrum lactoferrins) were bound by Aeromonas hydrophila. Binding was (i) reversible (65% of bound lactoferrin was displaced by unlabeled lactoferrin), (ii) specific (lactoferrin but not other iron-containing glycoproteins such as ferritin, transferrin, hemoglobin, and myoglobin inhi...
متن کاملLactoferrin binding by leukemia cell lines.
Monocytes and macrophages have receptors for the iron-binding protein lactoferrin. Lactoferrin acts as a potent inhibitor of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor production when it binds to these cells. Using a rosette assay and immunofluorescence, we have shown that cultured leukemia cells, including the human erythroid leukemia cell line K562, also have lactoferrin binding sites. ...
متن کاملLactoferrin is a lipid A-binding protein.
Lactoferrin (LF), a cationic 80-kDa protein present in polymorphonuclear leukocytes and in mucosal secretions, is known to have antibacterial effects on gram-negative bacteria, with a concomitant release of lipopolysaccharides (LPS, endotoxin). In addition, LF is known to decrease LPS-induced cytokine release by monocytes and LPS priming of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Its mechanism of action ...
متن کاملLactoferrin-binding proteins in Shigella flexneri.
The ability of Shigella flexneri to interact with lactoferrin (Lf) was examined with a 125I-labeled protein-binding assay. The percent binding of human lactoferrin (HLf) and bovine lactoferrin (BLf) to 45 S. flexneri strains was 19 +/- 3 and 21 +/- 3 (mean +/- standard error of the mean), respectively. 125I-labeled HLf and BLf binding to strain M90T reached an equilibrium within 2 h. Unlabeled ...
متن کاملIdentification of a human lactoferrin-binding protein in Gardnerella vaginalis.
Previous studies have shown that Gardnerella vaginalis can utilize iron-loaded human lactoferrin as a sole source of iron. In this study, G. vaginalis cells were shown to bind digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled human lactoferrin in a dot blot assay. Using the DIG-labeled human lactoferrin, a 120-kDa human lactoferrin-binding protein was detected by Western blot analysis of G. vaginalis proteins. The lac...
