| 1 | Identification of in vivo induced protein antigens of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi during human infection显示文摘During infectious disease episodes, pathogens express distinct subsets of virulence factors which allow them to adapt to different environments. Hence, genes that are expressed or upregulated in vivo are implicated in pathogenesis. We used in vivo induced antigen technology (IVIAT) to identify antigens which are expressed during infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. We identified 7 in vivo induced (IVI) antigens, which included BcfD (a fimbrial structural subunit), GrxC (a glutaredoxin 3), SapB (an ABC-type transport system), T3663 (an ABC-type uncharacterized transport system), T3816 (a putative rhodanese-related sulfurtransferase), T1497 (a probable TonB-dependent receptor) and T3689 (unknown function). Of the 7 identified antigens, 5 antigens had no cross-immunoreactivity in adsorbed control sera from healthy subjects. These 5 included BcfD, GrxC, SapB, T3663 and T3689. Antigens identified in this study are potential targets for drug and vaccine development and may be utilized as diagnostic agents. | HU Yong1,2, CONG YanGuang1, LI Shu1, RAO XianCai1, WANG Gang3 & HU FuQuan1 1 Department of Microbiology, Third Military Medical University, Chongqing 400038, China 2 Department of Biotechnology, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing 400050, China 3 Department of Clinical Laboratory, The 3rd Hospital of People’s Liberation Army, Baoji 721004, China | 2009 | Science China(Life Sciences)2009，52，10： | 9 |
