Streptococcus suis enolase functions as a protective antigen displayed on the bacterial cell surface.

13 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) has evolved into a highly infectious entity, posing a great threat to public health. Screening for and identification of protective antigens plays an important role in developing therapies against SS2 ... Read more...

The cellular and molecular immune response of the weanling piglet to staphylococcal enterotoxin B.

30 Oct 2009 Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is a biothreat agent, etiologic agent of food poisoning, and potent inducer of toxic shock syndrome. This heat-stable exoprotein is thought to act as a superantigen to induce T cell-specific pathology. Most animal ... Read more...

Calpain inhibitors prevent p38 MAPK activation and germ cell apoptosis after heat stress in pubertal rat testes.

30 Oct 2009 Testicular injuries like torsion or cryptorchidism can cause massive germ cell death, which could have great impact on male reproductive health. In addition, it has been proposed that modern life style, in the form of underwear or sedentary work ... Read more...
