Fox, Eugene N. (University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill.). Intracellular M protein of group A Streptococcus. J. Bacteriol. 85:536-540. 1963.-A heat-labile M protein antigen in protoplasts of a type 14 strain of group A Streptococcus has been demonstrated in a soluble form in the cytoplasm, and also bound to the protoplasmic membrane. When trypsinized whole cells (from which the M protein on the cel...

Mosquito repellent plants are used in the rural areas of Zimbabwe despite the fact that very few of them have been biologically evaluated. Leaves of the plant Lippia javanica, were collected from Mumurwi village, Zimbabwe and evaluated for repellency against laboratory reared Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Major plant compounds were identified using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Mass Spectrome...

Xenotransplantation reemerged as a promising alternative to conventional transplantation enlarging the available organ pool. However, success of xenotransplantation depends on design and selection specific genetic modifications development robust assays allowing for precise assessment tissue-specific immune responses. Nevertheless, cell-based are often compromised by low proliferative capacity ...

Abstract Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough. The transition from whole cell (wP) to acellular vaccines (aPs) triggered an increase in incidence despite wide-spread vaccine coverage. aPs contain protein antigens purified B. pertussis: pertactin, fimbriae, filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), and toxin (PT). Antibodies are critical for protection against pertussis, have bee...
