Immunization with the biologically active lectin domain of PapGII induces strong adhesion-inhibiting antibody responses but not protection against avian pathogenic Escherichia coli.

چکیده
The aim of this study was to investigate whether immunization with the sugar binding domain of PapGII (PapGII196) was able to protect chickens against avian pathogenic Escherichia coli. PapGII196 was expressed, purified by Ni-NTA column chromatography and shown to retain its biological activity, as demonstrated by binding to its receptor, globoside. PapGII196 was tested as a vaccine in specific pathogen free broilers and also by vaccinating breeders and assessing protection in their offspring, and using aerosol exposure or air sac inoculation for challenge. Notwithstanding a strong anti-PapGII196 serum IgG response in vaccinated birds in all experiments and inhibition of haemagglutination by serum from PapGII196-vaccinated birds, chickens were not protected against avian pathogenic E. coli. These findings suggest that PapGII may not be a useful candidate for inclusion in vaccines against avian pathogenic E. coli.

Conformational inactivation induces immunogenicity of the receptor-binding pocket of a bacterial adhesin.
Inhibiting antibodies targeting receptor-binding pockets in proteins is a major focus in the development of vaccines and in antibody-based therapeutic strategies. Here, by using a common mannose-specific fimbrial adhesin of Escherichia coli, FimH, we demonstrate that locking the adhesin in a low-binding conformation induces the production of binding pocket-specific, adhesion-inhibiting antibodi...

Ricin, the toxic lectin extracted from the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis), consists of an A chain (RTA) and a B chain (RTB). Anti-A chain Abs and anti-B chain Abs can neutralize toxins in vivo and in vitro via blocking the binding of the toxin to the cell. Also, RTB protein is able to serve as an antigen deliver to the mucosal immune system and act as an immunoad...

The impending influenza virus pandemic requires global vaccination to prevent large-scale mortality and morbidity, but traditional influenza virus vaccine production is too slow for rapid responses. In this study, bacterial system has been developed for expression and purification of properly folded HA1 antigen as a rapid response to emerging pandemic strains. Here, a recombinant H5N1 (A/Indone...
متن کاملAn LTB-entrapped protein in PLGA nanoparticles preserves against enterotoxin of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Objective(s): Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is known as the most common bacterial causes of diarrheal diseases related to morbidity and mortality. Heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) is a part of major virulence factors in ETEC pathogenesis. Antigen entrapment into nanoparticles (NPs) can protect them and enhance their immunogenicity.Materials and Methods: In the present study, recombinant L...
متن کاملType 1 fimbrial adhesin FimH elicits an immune response that enhances cell adhesion of Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli causes about 90% of urinary tract infections (UTI), and more than 95% of all UTI-causing E. coli express type 1 fimbriae. The fimbrial tip-positioned adhesive protein FimH utilizes a shear force-enhanced, so-called catch-bond mechanism of interaction with its receptor, mannose, where the lectin domain of FimH shifts from a low- to a high-affinity conformation upon separation fr...
