Molecular characterization of the mycobacterial heparin-binding hemagglutinin, a mycobacterial adhesin

Menozzi, Franco D., Bischoff, Rainer, Fort, Emmanuelle, Brennan, Michael J., Locht, Camille

Although it generally is accepted that the interaction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with alveolar macrophages is a key step in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis, interactions with other cell types,...

Genital Antibody Responses in Mice after Intranasal Infection with an Attenuated Candidate Vector Strain of Bordetella pertussis

Mielcarek, Nathalie, Nordström, Inger, Menozzi, Franco D., Locht, Camille, Holmgren, Jan

Intranasal administration of live attenuated Bordetella pertussis, from which the pertussis toxin gene has been deleted, has previously been shown to give rise to high levels of serum immunoglobulin...

Bordetella pertussis TonB, a Bvg-Independent Virulence Determinant

Pradel, Elizabeth, Guiso, Nicole, Menozzi, Franco D., Locht, Camille

In gram-negative bacteria, high-affinity iron uptake requires the TonB/ExbB/ExbD envelope complex to release iron chelates from their specific outer membrane receptors into the periplasm. Based on...

Mycobacterial heparin-binding hemagglutinin and laminin-binding protein share antigenic methyllysines that confer resistance to proteolysis

Pethe, Kevin, Bifani, Pablo, Drobecq, Hervé, Sergheraert, Christian, Debrie, Anne-Sophie, Locht, Camille, ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette–Guérin produce a heparin-binding hemagglutinin adhesin (HBHA) required for extrapulmonary dissemination and a laminin-binding...
