Human milk immunoglobulin A antibodies to Shigella virulence determinants.
Because human milk is thought to protect infants from shigellosis, we evaluated milk for immunoglobulin A to Shigella virulence determinants. Milk was preincubated to remove antibodies unrelated to each locus of interest, using defined Shigella and E. coli hybrids containing known Shigella genetic segments prior to immunoblotting. The milk could not be shown to contain antibodies to chromosomal...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin VH determinants defined by monoclonal antibodies
Hybridoma clones secreting antibodies against common VH determinants were readily produced by fusion of cells from mice immunized with isolated V mu fragments of human immunoglobulins (Ig), but not with intact Ig molecules or isolated heavy chains. Four monoclonal antibodies to the V mu fragments of different IgM paraproteins were selected for analysis: MH-44 (mu kappa), GB-24 (mu kappa), NF-11...
متن کاملHuman lactoferrin impairs virulence of Shigella flexneri.
Lactoferrin is a glycoprotein present in most human mucosal secretions, including human milk. Lactoferrin is bacteriostatic in low iron media and, in some settings, bactericidal. Lactoferrin impairs ability of Shigella flexneri serotype 5 strain M90T to invade HeLa cells. To determine the mechanism by which lactoferrin decreases invasiveness of Shigella organisms, its effect on the major virule...
متن کاملThe binding of human milk lactoferrin to immunoglobulin A.
It was recognized that in human milk some amounts of lactoferrin (LF) were naturally bound to secretory IgA (sIgA). Since not only secretory component (SC) but also LF was released from sIgA by disulfide bond cleavage, it is conceivable that LF is naturally bound to IgA as well as SC. An in vitro binding test to LF and IgA was performed and the binding was confirmed by the use of an IgA-Sepharo...
متن کاملRegulator of Shigella Virulence
Virulence in Shigella spp., as well as in strains of enteroinvasive Escherichia col, is regulated by growth temperature. Previously, virR had been identified as the gene controlling the temperature-regulated expression of Shigella virulence. Since ShigeUa spp. and E. coli are also known to share >90% DNA sequence homology, we sought to determine if nonpathogenic E. coli K-12 C600 contains a gen...
