Complement activation influences Staphylococcus aureus adherence to endothelial cells.
The ability of Staphylococcus aureus to adhere to endothelial cells (EC) is a critical step in the development of metastatic infection. The role of complement in S. aureus binding to EC remains uninvestigated. Log-phase S. aureus, expressing minimal capsule, was incubated with serum under various conditions, washed, and then incubated at 37 degrees C for 30 min with cultured human umbilical vei...
متن کاملPreparation and characterization of transfer factor specific to Staphylococcus aureus in vitro
The present study explored the preparation and characterization of the transfer factor specific to Staphylococcus aureus (SA-STF) with in vitro method. The optimal culture conditions for the preparation of SA-STF were: SA 0.0002 μg/mL, PHA (phytohemagglutinin) 100 μg/mL, adding immunogen at 6 h, and stopping culture at 96 h. The physicochemical properties of in vitro prepared SA-STF met the sta...
متن کاملIgG4 subclass-specific responses to Staphylococcus aureus antigens shed new light on host-pathogen interaction.
IgG4 responses are considered indicative for long-term or repeated exposure to particular antigens. Therefore, studying IgG4-specific antibody responses against Staphylococcus aureus might generate new insights into the respective host-pathogen interactions and the microbial virulence factors involved. Using a bead-based flow cytometry assay, we determined total IgG (IgGt), IgG1, and IgG4 antib...
متن کاملDynamics of smooth muscle contraction
Photolysis of caged calcium (Nitr5, Calbiochem®) can be used to studycalcium dependent processes such as excitation-contraction coupling andmuscular mechanics. Expensive high energy light sources are routinely used forUV light exposure; this study describes an alternative low cost Xenon flash unitconstmcted in our laboratOlY. A 300 J short arc Xenon flash lamp (Heimarl1l®)wa...
متن کاملAntiphagocytic activity of Staphylococcus aureus antigens.
CAMERON, C. M . Antiphagocytic activity of Staphylococcus aureus antigens. Onderstepoort J. vet. Res. (1969), 36 (2) , 199-206. Systematic fractionation of a capsulated stra in cf Staphylococcus aureus has led to the isolation of two antigens which would specifically absorb opsonizing antibody from immune rabbit serum. One of these antigens was shown to be serologically identical to teichoic ac...
