18-Kilodalton Antigen

چکیده
In a recent paper (8), we have provided evidence that reactivity of anti-Candida albicans monoclonal antibodies to neoglycolipids (NGL) constructed from C. albicans mannan acid-labile oligomannosides (NGLH) and corresponding to homopolymers of P(1-2)-linked mannopyranosyl units (4, 7) was correlated with reactivity against a 14to 18-kDa C. albicans antigen. Conversely, monoclonal antibodies reacting preferentially with NGL constructed with oligomannosides released by acetolysis of oligomannoside H-depleted

A protein antigen of Mycobacterium leprae is related to a family of small heat shock proteins.
The gene encoding an immunologically important 18-kilodalton protein antigen of Mycobacterium leprae has been sequenced, and the amino acid sequence of the antigen has been deduced. The 18-kilodalton antigen is strikingly similar in size and sequence to a family of eucaryotic heat shock proteins.

Development and evaluation of a monoclonal antibody inhibition enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to diagnose syphilis.
A highly specific inhibition enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using murine monoclonal antibodies to treponemes has been developed to diagnose syphilis. The monoclonal antibodies used in this study were reactive to antigens of both Treponema pallidum and Treponema pertenue and not to antigens of non-pathogenic treponemes. Inhibition of the binding of monoclonal antibody to the treponema...
متن کاملTwo forms of simian-virus-40-specific T-antigen in abortive and lytic infection.
Simian-virus-40-specific T-antigen was isolated by immunoprecipitation. From other studies we have proof that the T-antigen described in this work is coded by the viral DNA. The molecular weight estimated from electrophoretic mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels of T-antigen isolated from nonpermissive mouse cells in abortive infection is 86,000 and from permissive monkey cell...
متن کاملLEVELS OF ANTI-STREP TOKINASE AND ANTI-MYCOBACTERIAL HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 65 KILODALTON (ANTI-MHSP 65) ANTIBODIES IN PATIENTS WITH AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Bacterial and viral triggers are suspected agents in the initial etiology of autoimmune diseases. There are some studies on the etiology of autoimmune disorders which have focused on streptococcal infection and a possible relation with microbial heat shock proteins (hsp) which show significant homology with human heat shock proteins. In addition, some serotypes of streptococci cross-react ...
