Expression and secretion of recombinant outer-surface protein A from the Lyme disease agent, Borrelia burgdorferi, in Nicotiana tabacum suspension cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

The ospA gene of Borrelia burgdorferi codes for an outer membrane lipoprotein, which is a major antigen of the Lyme disease agent. Recombinant OspA vaccines tested so far were expressed in Escherichia coli. In this study, we investigated the expression of a soluble OspA protein in Nicotiana tabacum

Expression of the recombinant bacterial outer surface protein A in tobacco chloroplasts leads to thylakoid localization and loss of photosynthesis.

Bacterial lipoproteins play crucial roles in host-pathogen interactions and pathogenesis and are important targets for the immune system. A prominent example is the outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi, which has been efficiently used as a vaccine for the prevention of Lyme

Production of a recombinant bacterial lipoprotein in higher plant chloroplasts.

Little is known about the potential of plastids to accomplish post-translational modifications of foreign proteins. In the present study we generated transplastomic tobacco plants that accumulate the outer surface lipoprotein A (OspA)-the basic constituent of the first generation monovalent human

Internal core protein cleavage leaves the hepatitis B virus capsid intact and enhances its capacity for surface display of heterologous whole chain proteins.

Virus capsids find increasing use as nanoparticulate platforms for the surface display of heterologous ligands, including as multivalent vaccine carriers. Presentation on the icosahedral hepatitis B virus capsid (HBcAg) is known to strongly enhance immunogenicity of foreign sequences, most

A Man in His 20s With Cough, Unilateral Pleural Effusion, and Nodular Pleural Thickening.

A man in his 20s presented to the ED after several months of progressive dyspnea, dry cough, and night sweats. He had no chest pain, fevers, weight loss, or sick contacts. He was previously healthy and took no medications. Social history was notable for 5 pack-years of tobacco use. The patient was

Production of leafy biomass using temporary immersion bioreactors: an alternative platform to express proteins in transplastomic plants with drastic phenotypes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chloroplast transformation technology is a promising approach for the production of foreign proteins in plants with expression levels of up to 70 % of total soluble protein (TSP) achieved in tobacco. However, expression of foreign protein in the chloroplast can lead to drastic or even lethal effects
