1. Study on the Application of Electric Field to Giant Vesicles Comprised of 1,2-Dilauroyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphatidylcholine Using Optical Fluorescence Microscopy
The influence of alternating electric field (AC) in the structure and dynamics of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) comprised of 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DLPC) is reported. The investigations were conducted by using optical fluorescence microscopy as the method of analysis. The lipid membrane of the DLPC GUVs at the fluid phase can be

2. Study of the potential of adjuvants toxoids Stx1 and Stx2 of Escherichia coli on native outer membrane vesicle preparations of Neisseria meningitidis B in BALB/c mice / Estudo do potencial adjuvante dos toxóides Stx1 e Stx2 de Escherichia coli em preparações com antígenos de vesículas de membrana externa de Neisseria meningitidis B em camundongos BALB/c
As vacinas antimeningocócicas têm se demonstrado efetivas contra os sorogrupos A e C, no entanto ainda não existe vacina contra o sorogrupo B devido à similaridade entre a estrutura capsular do polissacáride B e o ácido polisiálico que faz parte do tecido cerebral humano, podendo levar à autoimunidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as propri

3. Cinética do cultivo em biorreator de Niesseria meningitidis sorogrupo B / Bioreactor cultivation kinetics of group B Neisseria meningitidis
Neisseria meningitidis B libera vesículas de membrana externa, conhecidas pela sigla OMV. Essas possuem os mesmos componentes da membrana externa da bactéria e podem ser utilizadas como antígenos em vacinas contra a meningite B. As vesículas devem, também, expressar proteínas da membrana externa (OMP) e proteínas reguladoras do íon ferro (IRP). O obj

4. Heat-induced blebbing and vesiculation of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli.
Thermal damage to the outer membrane of Escherichia coli W3110 was studied. When E. coli cells were heated at 55 degrees C in 50 mM Tris-hydrochloride buffer at pH 8.0, surface blebs were formed on the cell envelope, mainly at the septa of dividing cells. Membrane lipids were released from the cells during the heating period, and part of the released lipids

5. Outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria. XIX. Isolation from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 and use in reconstitution and definition of the permeability barrier.
A method for separating the outer and inner membranes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in the absence of added ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was devised. The method yields two outer membrane fractions which show the same protein pattern on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, but differ substantially in their relative contents of phosph

6. Escherichia coli tol-pal Mutants Form Outer Membrane Vesicles
Mutations in the tol-pal genes induce pleiotropic effects such as release of periplasmic proteins into the extracellular medium and hypersensitivity to drugs and detergents. Other outer membrane defective strains such as tolC, lpp, and rfa mutations are also altered in their outer membrane permeability. In this study, electron microscopy and Western blot ana

7. Humoral immune response to the class 3 outer membrane protein during the course of meningococcal disease.
We have determined the amounts of specific anti-class 3 outer membrane protein antibodies of immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgM, and IgA isotypes in patient sera during the course of meningococcal disease by using purified class 3 protein as the sensitizing antigen in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The class 3 protein was obtained from a variant of strain 44

8. Functional Activities and Epitope Specificity of Human and Murine Antibodies against the Class 4 Outer Membrane Protein (Rmp) of Neisseria meningitidis
Antibodies against the class 4 outer membrane protein (OMP) from Neisseria meningitidis have been purified from sera from vaccinees immunized with the Norwegian meningococcal group B outer membrane vesicle vaccine. The human sera and purified antibodies reacted strongly with the class 4 OMP in immunoblots, whereas experiments with whole bacteria showed only

9. Identification and characterization of Campylobacter jejuni outer membrane proteins.
Outer membrane proteins from isolates of Campylobacter jejuni were examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Sarcosinate-insoluble membrane preparations were outer membrane enriched based on increased ketodeoxyoctonate concentrations, the presence of surface-exposed 125I-labeled proteins that were hydrophobic, and similarity to m

10. Molecular cloning of DNA coding for outer membrane proteins of Haemophilus influenzae type b.
DNA from Haemophilus influenzae type b was cloned in Escherichia coli with a vector lambda gt11 Amp1. Clones producing antigens reactive with hyperimmune rabbit antisera were identified by colony radioimmune assay. A second screening with hyperimmune serum adsorbed with intact H. influenzae type b bacteria was used to identify those clones producing surface-

11. Comparison among opsonic activity, antimeningococcal immunoglobulin G response, and serum bactericidal activity against meningococci in sera from vaccinees after immunization with a serogroup B outer membrane vesicle vaccine.
Opsonic activity in sera from 27 military recruits vaccinated with the Norwegian meningococcal serogroup B outer membrane vesicle vaccine was measured as respiratory burst with polymorphonuclear leukocytes as the effector cells and meningococci of the epidemic strain as the target. The results were compared with antimeningococcal IgG antibodies against an ou

12. On the nature and the role of the subsurface vesicles in the outer epithelial cells of the conjunctiva.
The layer of the tear film in contact with the conjunctiva is mucus. This mucus comes from two sources, the conjunctival goblet cells and the subsurface vesicles. These vesicles are found just below the surface of the conjunctival cells. They contain long chain mucus glycoprotein molecules that are joined to the vesicle membrane. The vesicles fuse with the s
