Epitope mapping of the outer membrane protein P5-homologous fimbrin adhesin of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae.
To identify potential immunodominant and/or adhesin binding domains of the outer membrane protein P5-homologous fimbrin adhesin of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI), three sets of synthetic peptides were synthesized and assayed in an adherence inhibition assay, by Western blotting, and in a biomolecular interaction analysis (BIA) system. The first series of 34 8- to 10-mer peptides repr...
متن کاملOuter membrane protein P5 is required for resistance of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae to both the classical and alternative complement pathways.
The complement system is an important first line of defense against the human pathogen Haemophilus influenzae. To survive and propagate in vivo, H. influenzae has evolved mechanisms for subverting this host defense, most of which have been shown to involve outer surface structures, including lipooligosaccharide glycans and outer surface proteins. Bacterial defense against complement acts at mul...
متن کاملMolecular variation in the major outer membrane protein P5 gene of nonencapsulated Haemophilus influenzae during chronic infections.
During the course of persistent infections by nonencapsulated Haemophilus influenzae in patients with chronic bronchitis, the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) P5 varies in molecular weight. The nature of this variability was determined by DNA sequence analysis of the P5 gene from five different H. influenzae strains and their seven MOMP P5 variants which were isolated from patients with chro...
متن کاملComparison of outer membrane protein and biochemical profiles of Haemophilus aegyptius and Haemophilus influenzae biotype III.
Haemophilus aegyptius and Haemophilus influenzae biotype III are morphologically and biochemically similar; however, their outer membrane protein (Sarkosyl insoluble) profiles are distinct. Of 18 strains of H. aegyptius examined, 15 had a type 1 protein profile, and 3 had a type 2 profile, whereas the 5 strains of H. influenzae biotype III examined had three other protein profile types. All Hae...
متن کاملCharacteristics of major outer membrane proteins of Haemophilus influenzae.
Several properties of Haemophilus influenzae outer membrane proteins were analyzed to define related proteins in various isolates. H. influenzae type b 760705 had six major outer membrane proteins with the following characteristics. Protein a (Mr, 47,000) demonstrated heat modifiability in sodium dodecyl sulfate; its apparent molecular weight was 34,000 at temperatures below 60 degrees C. This ...
