Nonimmune interaction of the SfbI protein of Streptococcus pyogenes with the immunoglobulin G F(ab')(2) fragment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibronectin-binding protein I (SfbI) of Streptococcus pyogenes binds to mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG) but not to IgA or IgM in a nonimmune fashion. The fibronectin-binding domains of SfbI were responsible for this activity, which was targeted to the IgG F(ab')(2) fragment. SfbI also binds to B cells but not to CD4(+) or CD8(+) lymphocytes.

Nonimmune Interaction of the SfbI Protein of Streptococcus pyogenes with the Immunoglobulin G F(ab9)2 Fragment
The expression of bacterial surface proteins that interact nonspecifically with immunoglobulins (Igs) from different mammalian species has been described for many microorganisms (1, 6, 7, 12, 13, 15). Nonimmune binding to Igs is generally mediated by the Fc fragment of the Ig molecules (7, 12, 13, 15). However, few of these proteins can also bind the F(ab9)2 fragment through an alternative bind...
متن کاملFc-mediated nonspecific binding between fibronectin-binding protein I of Streptococcus pyogenes and human immunoglobulins.
Fibronectin-binding protein I (SfbI) from Streptococcus pyogenes plays a key role in bacterial adhesion to, and invasion of, eukaryotic cells. In addition, SfbI exhibits a considerable potential as mucosal adjuvant and can trigger polyclonal activation of B cells. Here, we report that SfbI is also capable of binding human IgG in a nonimmune fashion. SfbI was reactive with IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the domain of fibronectin-binding protein I of Streptococcus pyogenes responsible for elicitation of a protective immune response.
Fibronectin-binding protein I (SfbI) represents a major adhesin of Streptococcus pyogenes. Mice were intranasally immunized with recombinant proteins spanning different portions of SfbI to identify the minimal fragment able to elicit a protective response against a lethal challenge with S. pyogenes. The strongest cellular responses and the highest levels of antigen-specific secretory immunoglob...
متن کاملProduction and purification of polyclonal antibody against F(ab')2 fragment of human immunoglobulin G
Antibodies are essential tools of biomedical and biochemical researches. Polyclonal antibodies are produced against different epitopes of antigens. Purified F(ab')2 can be used for animal’s immunization to produce polyclonal antibodies. Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was purified by ion exchange chromatography method. In all stages verification method of the purified antibodies was sod...
متن کاملIdentification of B- and T-cell epitopes within the fibronectin-binding domain of the SfbI protein of Streptococcus pyogenes.
The fibronectin-binding repeats of the SfbI protein of Streptococcus pyogenes constitute the minimal domain able to confer protection against lethal infection. We investigated the presence of B- and T-cell epitopes within this region in congenic mice. One linear B-cell epitope was recognized by BALB/b and BALB/k mice, whereas two epitopes were found in BALB/c animals. A unique T-cell epitope wa...
