ABSTRACTInfections withStreptococcus pneumoniaecause substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly in children in developing nations. Polysaccharide-conjugate vaccines provide protection against both invasive disease and colonization, but their use in developing countries is limited by restri...... hiện toàn bộ
Characterization of an amylase-binding component of Streptococcus gordonii G9BInfection and Immunity - Tập 60 Số 11 - Trang 4726-4733 - 1992
Frank A. Scannapieco, G G Haraszthy, M I Cho, Michael J. Levine
The goal of the present study was to begin characterizing the amylase-binding component(s) on the surface of Streptococcus gordonii G9B. Alkali extracts but not phenol-water extracts of this bacterium inhibited 125I-amylase binding to S. gordonii G9B. To identify the bacterial components involved in amylase binding, the alkali extract was subjected to affinity chromatography on amylase-Sep...... hiện toàn bộ
Polymorphonuclear leukocyte adherence to nylon: effect of oral corticosteroidsInfection and Immunity - Tập 26 Số 2 - Trang 542-546 - 1979
J. McGillen, John Phair
The effect of orally administered glucocorticoids on polymorphonuclear leukocyte adherence was studied by using the nylon fiber adherence assay. Inhibition of adherence 4 h after administration of the agent was confirmed, and in addition, augmentation of adherence was noted 24 h after ingestion of prednisone. Crossover studies revealed inhibition and augmentation to be cell associated as w...... hiện toàn bộ
Characterization of rickettsial attachment to host cells by flow cytometryInfection and Immunity - Tập 60 Số 5 - Trang 2030-2035 - 1992
H. Li, David H. Walker
The mechanisms of rickettsial attachment have been studied by measuring quantitative changes in rickettsial binding to host cells by flow cytometry after different treatments of the rickettsiae and host cells. Time-dependent binding of Rickettsia conorii to host cells was demonstrated by the increasing intensity of host cell surface fluorescence of rickettsia-host cell combinations when ex...... hiện toàn bộ
