Clustering of an outer membrane adhesin of Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Haemophilus parainfluenzae synthesizes an outer membrane protein adhesin which mediates binding to oral streptococci, salivary pellicle, and neuraminidase-treated erythrocytes. An indirect gold labeling technique and immunoelectron microscopy verified the location of this outer membrane protein. Further, a clustering of gold particles was observed in irregular patches at the cell surface.

Detection of Haemophilus influenzae by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of the outer membrane protein P6 gene.
It is difficult and time-consuming to distinguish Haemophilus influenzae from the genotypically similar Haemophilus parainfluenzae, which is a commensal of the human oral cavity. The novel nucleic acid amplification technique of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), which amplifies DNA under isothermal conditions (63 degrees C) with high specificity, efficiency, and rapidity, was evalu...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Outer - membrane Proteins of Haemophilus parainfienzae Expressed under Iron - sufficient and Iron - restricted Conditions By DANIEL
SDS-PAGE of the outer-membrane (OM) proteins of Haemophilus parainfluenzae P205 grown under iron-sufficient conditions revealed three major proteins of 40,37 and 13 kDa. In addition, growth under conditions of iron-restriction resulted in the expression of at least four ironrepressible OM proteins (IROMPs) of 72, 81, 88 and 90 kDa. OM proteins of 40 and 13 kDa were non-covalently associated wit...
متن کاملAn Application of Outer Membrane Protein P6-Specific Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Detection of Haemophilus influenzae in Middle Ear Fluids and Nasopharyngeal Secretions
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay specific to outer membrane protein P6 (P6-ELISA) was applied for detecting Haemophilus influenzae in middle ear fluids (MEFs) from acute otitis media (AOM) patients and in nasopharyngeal secretions (NPSs) from acute rhinosinusitis patients. P6-ELISA had a sensitivity of 83.3% for MEFs and 71.5% for NPSs and a specificity of 85.6% for MEFs and 92.5% for NPSs,...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of the P5 adhesin protein of Haemophilus parasuis serotype 5.
Haemophilus parasuis is a Gram-negative respiratory pathogen of young pigs that colonizes the upper respiratory tract and produces a number of symptoms collectiviely described as Glässer's disease. Recently, an H. parasuis P5-like outer membrane adhesin protein homologous to H. influenzae P5 was identified. The P5 adhesin was partially purified by anion exchange and size-exclusion chromatograph...
متن کاملImmune response to Haemophilus parainfluenzae in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease.
Haemophilus parainfluenzae is often isolated from the sputa of patients with chronic obstructive lung disease. We have investigated the immune response to this organism in patients with chronic bronchitis (n = 3) and bronchiectasis (n = 10) and in healthy controls (n = 9). Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of H. parainfluenzae were purified for use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent and immunoblot ass...
