The Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 homologue in Listeria monocytogenes is dispensable for growth in vitro and in vivo.

چکیده
ESAT-6 is a virulence determinant in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and a member of a conserved group of proteins in a variety of other bacteria. A targeted deletion of the homologous gene in Listeria was generated, and in contrast to that observed for mycobacteria, this locus was not required for Listeria virulence.

Cloning and Expression of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis ESAT-6 in Prokaryotic System
The identification of a large number of antigens with potential for development of new tuberculosis vaccine has been accomplished in recent years. This study was designed for cloning and expression of ESAT-6 as a potent antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Selected gene (Rv3875) was amplified by PCR and product was ligated into expressing plasmid vector pQE30 and recombinant pQE30-ES plasmi...
متن کاملLIGHT contributes to early but not late control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
The TNF superfamily member, LIGHT, contributes to optimal T-cell activation in vitro through co-stimulation of dendritic cell cytokine production; however, its role in T-cell-mediated control of intracellular bacterial infections is unknown. Protective immunity against Listeria monocytogenes and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection requires both antigen-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Using...
متن کاملSelection of single-chain variable fragments specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 antigen using ribosome display
Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the problematic infectious diseases in developing countries, especially in Iran. In the present study, we applied ribosome display technique to select single chain variable fragments (scFvs) specific for the 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a mouse scFv library. Materials and Methods: The g...
متن کاملسنتز نانوپارتیکل‌های پروتئین ESAT-6 و بررسی ایمنی همورال بعد از تجویز آن از طریق بینی
Introduction: Among several tuberculosis vaccine candidates for replacement of BCG, ESAT-6 protein has a special role. Since mycobacterium tuberculosis infection most often attacks the lungs, intranasal rout can be regarded as appropriate methods for tuberculosis vaccines and drug delivery. One of the appropriate systems for intranasal vaccine delivery is using biodegradable nanoparticles. Amon...
متن کاملChitosan (CHT) and trimethylchitosan (TMC) nanoparticles as adjuvant/delivery system for parenteral and nasal immunization against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) ESAT-6 antigen
Objective(s): An efficient vaccine against TB is an urgent need. TB peptides are safe candidate but they are weak immunogens and needs to be potentiated by adjuvant/delivery systems. The main purpose of the present study was to determine the potential of CHT based NPs containing ESAT-6 antigen of M. tuberculosis for inducing mucosal and systemic immune responses after intranasal and subcutaneou...
