Alpha-toxin is a major virulence factor in Staphylococcus aureus keratitis. Active or passive immunization with alpha-toxin toxoid could protect against corneal damage. Results show that either form of immunization did not kill bacteria but did significantly protect against corneal pathology, especially epithelial erosion.
PURPOSE Recent studies of corneal wound healing suggest that activated corneal keratocytes develop myofibroblast-like characteristics including a putative contractile apparatus comprised, in part, of intracellular microfilament bundles (i.e., stress fibers) containing f-actin, myosin, and alpha-actinin; extracellular fibronectin fibrils; and fibronectin surface membrane receptors (alpha 5 beta ...
Photoreactive derivatives of alpha- and beta-scorpion toxins have been used to analyze the subunit composition of Na+ channels in rat brain. In synaptosomes, both types of toxins preferentially labeled (greater than 85%) a component of 34,000 Da and, at a lower level, another component of 300,000 Da. Reduction of disulfide bridges shifted this latter band from 300,000 Da to 272,000 Da but did n...
Ontogeny of trimeric GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) and their subunits in rabbit liver during neonatal development was studied, by using bacterial-toxin-catalysed ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins, immunoblot analysis to quantify the alpha-subunit (alpha s and alpha i) of stimulatory (Gs) and inhibitory (Gi) G-protein and the beta-subunit, and reconstitution assay with cyc- me...
PURPOSE To investigate the corneal virulence of toxin-deficient mutants of Staphylococcus aureus in young and aged mice in a topical inoculation model of keratitis. METHODS Corneas of young and aged A/J mice were scarified and topically inoculated with a log phase S. aureus parent strain (8325-4), an alpha-toxin-deficient mutant (DU1090), or an Agr-defective mutant (ISP546) deficient in produ...
We have investigated the effects of the in vitro depletion of LFA1 positive cytolytic T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and monocytes on the afferent phase of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Lethal GVHD was induced across the murine major histocompatibility complex by injecting C57BL/6 (H-2b) bone marrow (BM) cells (a source of stem cells) and splenocytes (S) (a source of T cells) int...
In this research a molecular method based on polymerase chain reaction for typing of Clostridium perfringens was developed and toxin genotypes of 64 isolates from sheep and goats in Iran were determined. The PCR assays were developed for detection of alpha (cpa), beta (cpb) and epsilon (etx) toxin genes, allowing classification of the isolates into genotypes A B, C and D. The field isolates ...
A phage repertoire was constructed using antibody genes from the bone marrow and the spleen of a rabbit immunized with Cry1Ab toxin. Biopanning against either the Cry1Ab toxin or a domain II loop 3 synthetic peptide resulted in the identification of monoclonal antibodies in scFv format. They inhibited binding and toxicity of Cry1Ab toxin against Manduca sexta. Toxin overlay assays, using the sc...
Work from several laboratories indicates that guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (GTP-binding proteins) are required for intracellular vesicular transport. In a previous report we presented evidence indicating that one or more heterotrimeric G proteins regulate fusion between endosomes (Colombo, M. I., Mayorga, L. S., Casey, P. J., and Stahl, P. D. (1992) Science 255, 1695-1697). We now report...
