Bactericidal and Antiendotoxic Properties of Short Cationic Peptides Derived from a Snake Venom Lys49 Phospholipase A2
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-04)
The activities of short synthetic, nonhemolytic peptides derived from the C-terminal region of myotoxin 11, a catalytically inactive phospholipase A(2) homologue present in the venom of the snake Bothrops asper, have been ...
Brucella evades macrophage killing via VirB-dependent sustained interactions with the endoplasmic reticulum
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2003-01-18)
The intracellular pathogen Brucella is the causative agent of brucellosis, a worldwide zoonosis
that affects mammals, including humans. Essential to Brucella virulence is its ability to survive and
replicate inside host ...
Brucella abortus lipopolysaccharide in murine peritoneal macrophages acts as a down-regulator of T cell activation
(The American Association of Immunologists, Inc., 2000)
Macrophages play a central role in host immune responses against pathogens by acting as both professional phagocytic cells and
as fully competent APCs. We report here that the LPS from the facultative intracellular ...
Characterization of Brucella abortus lipopolysaccharide macrodomains as mega rafts
(Blackwell Science, 2005-09-28)
The lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of intracellular Proteobacteria such as Brucella, Chlamydia, Legionella and Rickettsia, have properties distinct from enterobacterial LPSs. These properties include deficient LPS induction of ...
