Adherence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum involves variable surface membrane proteins.

چکیده
Adherence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum to erythrocytes was examined by colony immunoblotting, detergent phase fractionation, trypsin treatment, comparison of protein profiles, and comparison of erythrocyte-bound mycoplasma protein fractions of hemadsorption-positive and -negative mutants. The binding of M. gallisepticum to chicken or human erythrocytes was found to be mediated via surface-exposed membrane proteins undergoing high-frequency phase variation.

Identification of fibronectin-binding proteins in Mycoplasma gallisepticum strain R.
We have determined that virulent Mycoplasma gallisepticum strain Rlow is capable of binding the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin. Fibronectin was found to be present in M. gallisepticum Rlow protein extracts by Western blotting and peptide sequencing. Mycoplasma gallisepticum Rhigh, the attenuated, high-passage derivative of Rlow, is deficient in this ability. MGA_1199, the M. gallisept...
متن کاملThe Recognition of a vlhA Protein from the F-Strain of Mycoplasma gallisepticum with Monoclonal Antibody 6F10
The goal of this project is to identify the genes encoding M. gallisepticum F-strain surface proteins recognized by specific antibody reagents to characterize the individual role of each gene product in host colonization. Here we report the characterization of a 70-kDa surface protein recognized by monoclonal antibody 6F10. The surface protein was gel isolated and digested with trypsin for eval...
متن کاملIdentification and expression of a Mycoplasma gallisepticum surface antigen recognized by a monoclonal antibody capable of inhibiting both growth and metabolism.
In order to identify antigenic proteins of Mycoplasma gallisepticum, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against virulent M. gallisepticum R strain were produced in mice. MAb 35A6 was selected for its abilities to inhibit both growth and metabolism of M. gallisepticum in vitro. The MAb recognized a membrane protein with an apparent molecular mass of 120 kDa. The corresponding gene, designated the mgc3...
متن کاملIsolation and identification of Mycoplasma gallisepticum in chickensbn from industrial farms in Kerman province
Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the most important and infectious Mycoplasmosis. It is caused lots of economic losses for poultry's industry of Iran. The target of this study is comparison of culture and nested PCR techniques to detect Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection of chicken’s from industrial farms in Kerman province of Iran. 88 isolates received from industrial far...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and expression of a computationally predicted surface antigen of Mycoplasma gallisepticum
Mycoplasmas, the simplest self-replicating organisms known, are distinguished phenotypically from other bacteria by their minute size and total lack of cell wall. The poultry industry is affected by several species of mycoplasmas, but Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is the most economically significant one. The attachment of mycoplasmas to host respiratory epithelial cells constitutes a critical ...
