Functional analysis of Mycoplasma arthritidis-derived mitogen interactions with class II molecules.
The ability of superantigens (SAGs) to trigger various cellular events via major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules is largely mediated by their mode of interaction. Having two MHC class II binding sites, staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is able to dimerize MHC class II molecules on the cell surface and consequently induces cytokine gene expression in human monocytes. In cont...
متن کاملPresence of Lps Mutation Influences Cytokine Regulation In Vivo by the Mycoplasma arthritidis Mitogen Superantigen and Lethal Toxicity in Mice Infected with M. arthritidis
The Mycoplasma arthritidis mitogen (MAM) superantigen (SAg) is a potent activator of human and murine cells and is produced by an organism that is a cause of acute and chronic arthritis of rodents. It is phylogenetically unrelated to other bacterial SAgs and exhibits a number of unique features. We recently demonstrated that MAM differentially regulates the cytokine responses of different mouse...

متن کاملA Single Point Mutation within the Coding Sequence of Cholera Toxin B Subunit Will Increase Its Expression Yield
Background: Cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) has been extensively considered as an immunogenic and adjuvant protein, but its yield of expression is not satisfactory in many studies. The aim of this study was to compare the expression of native and mutant recombinant CTB (rCTB) in pQE vector. Methods: ctxB fragment from Vibrio cholerae O1 ATCC14035 containing the substitution of mutant ctxB for ami...
متن کاملH2 gene control and biological activities of a T-cell mitogen derived from Mycoplasma arthritidis: a review.
Mycoplasma arthritidis generates a soluble, non-dialysable, polyclonal mitogen which is active for murine and human T lymphocytes in the presence of an adherent, radio-resistant, Ia-bearing accessory cell population. Genetic analysis has established that the I-E sub-region of the murine H2 gene complex controls responses to the mitogen and that this control is exercised at the level of the Ia-b...
