Identification of the Streptococcus pyogenes surface antigens recognised by pooled human immunoglobulin
Immunity to common bacteria requires the generation of antibodies that promote opsonophagocytosis and neutralise toxins. Pooled human immunoglobulin is widely advocated as an adjunctive treatment for clinical Streptococcus pyogenes infection however, the protein targets of the reagent remain ill defined. Affinity purification of the anti-streptococcal antibodies present within pooled immunoglob...
متن کاملPooled Protein Immunization for Identification of Cell Surface Antigens in Streptococcus sanguinis
BACKGROUND Available bacterial genomes provide opportunities for screening vaccines by reverse vaccinology. Efficient identification of surface antigens is required to reduce time and animal cost in this technology. We developed an approach to identify surface antigens rapidly in Streptococcus sanguinis, a common infective endocarditis causative species. METHODS AND FINDINGS We applied bioinf...
متن کاملProteomic analysis and identification of Streptococcus pyogenes surface-associated proteins.
Streptococcus pyogenes is a gram-positive human pathogen that causes a wide spectrum of disease, placing a significant burden on public health. Bacterial surface-associated proteins play crucial roles in host-pathogen interactions and pathogenesis and are important targets for the immune system. The identification of these proteins for vaccine development is an important goal of bacterial prote...
متن کاملEndoS and SpeB from Streptococcus pyogenes inhibit immunoglobulin-mediated opsonophagocytosis.
The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes primarily infects the upper respiratory tract and skin, but occasionally it disseminates and causes severe invasive disease with high mortality. This study revealed that the activity of extracellular EndoS, which hydrolyzes the functionally important N-linked oligosaccharides on opsonizing immunoglobulin G (IgG), contributes to increased survival of S. ...
متن کاملIdentification of conformational epitopes on fragment crystallizable region of human Immunoglobulin G by immunoinformatic
Background: Immunoglobulins are a group of proteins have important role in defense against microorganisms. Human immunoglobulins are divided into five classes: IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE and IgG. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the highest abundant antibody in serum and extravascular fluids. The extent of serum IgG is related to severity of several diseases such as infections, so IgG has great diagnostic wor...
