Interaction of tea catechin (-)-epigallocatechin gallate with lipid bilayers.
A major component of green tea extracts, catechin (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), has been reported to be biologically active and interacting with membranes. A recent study reported drastic effects of EGCg on giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). In particular, EGCg above 30 microM caused GUVs to burst. Here we investigated the effect of EGCg on single GUVs at lower concentrations, believing ...
متن کاملGreen Tea Catechin-Inactivated Viral Vaccine Platform
Traditionally, chemical agents such as formalin (FA) and β-propiolactone (BPL) have long been used for the preparation of inactivated vaccines or toxoids. It has been shown that FA extensively modifies vaccine antigens and thus affects immunogenicity profiles, sometimes compromising the protective efficacy of the vaccines or even exacerbating the disease upon infection. In this study, we show t...
متن کاملEffect of Marinating Chicken Meat with Lemon, Green Tea and Turmeric Against Foodborne Bacterial Pathogens
Foodborne diseases affect millions of people each year. To reduce the incidence of bacterial foodborne pathogens more effective treatment methods are needed. In this study, we evaluated the effect of marinating chicken breast fillets with extracts of lemon, green tea and turmeric against Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella enteritidis. The prepared plant extracts in phosphate buffered saline we...
متن کاملInteractions with microbial pathogens.
A wide variety of bacterial pathogens, as well as several fungi, kill C. elegans or produce non-lethal disease symptoms. This allows the nematode to be used as a simple, tractable model host for infectious disease. Human pathogens that affect C. elegans include gram-negative bacteria of genera Burkholderia, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Serratia and Yersinia; gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus, Sta...
متن کاملThe complex interactions of bacterial pathogens and host defenses.
The introduction of antibiotics into clinical practice in the 1950s led to the presumption that bacterial infectious diseases would become a ‘thing of the past’. While antibiotics have resulted in major decreases in morbidity and mortality in the subsequent decades, the global burden of infectious diseases remains one of the largest challenges facing the international biomedical community. Bact...
