Inflammatory effects of Salmonella typhimurium porins

Inflammatory effects of Salmonella typhimurium porins.

The inflammatory activity of porins purified from Salmonella typhimurium has been investigated. Porins (0.3 to 30 micrograms) injected into the rat paw induced a dose-related edema that was not due to lipopolysaccharide contamination and did not appear to be dependent on the activation of the complement system. The edema induced by 30 micrograms of porins was comparable to that caused by 1 mg o...

COMPARATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF PORINS FROM SALMONELLA TYPHIO-901 AND SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM RA-30

Porins from Salmonella typhi 0-901 and Salmonella typhimurium Ra-30 were characterized and compared. The elution profile of porins from these salmonella species on Sepharose-48 and HPLC appear to be very similar. The findings were confirmed by the electrophoretic pattern which showed three types of porins, i.e. OmpC, OmpD and OmpF in both species. These porins appear to be similar, if not ...

Porins in the Inflammatory and Immunological Response Following Salmonella Infections

Mucosal Inflammatory Response to Salmonella typhimurium Infection

The human intestinal epithelium consists of a single layer of epithelial cells that forms a barrier against food antigens and the resident microbiota within the lumen. This delicately balanced organ functions in a highly sophisticated manner to uphold the fidelity of the intestinal epithelium and to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms. On the luminal side, this barrier is fortified by a thick m...
