3.4.21.110 medicine acts as a potential invasin of group A streptococcus and promotes invasion independent of fibronectin 673973 3.4.21.110 medicine encapsulated C5a peptidase elicites significant immune responses and protection against group B streptococci challenge. C5a peptidase microsphere encapsulation has potential as a group B streptococci vaccine 684315 3.4.21.110 medicine encapsulated C5a peptidase elicits significant immune responses and protection against a group B Streptococcus challenge. C5a peptidase poly(lactide-coglycolide) microsphere encapsulation has potential as a group B Streptococcus vaccine 717065 3.4.21.110 medicine fibronectin adhesin activity of scpB plays a role in virulence -, 687071 3.4.21.110 medicine immunization with C5a peptidase protein from either group A or group B streptococci provides protection against group A streptococcus infections in mice, moreover, mice immunized with antibodies directed against protein from group B streptococci also cleared streptococci from their lungs more efficiently than those immunized with tetanus toxoid 677242 3.4.21.110 medicine inactivates recombinant chemotaxin C5a by destroying its capacity to interact with the C5a receptor on human polymorphonuclear leukocytes 671820 3.4.21.110 medicine inactive mutant H193A elicits high titers of antigen-specific IgG1 antibodies and robust T cell-mediated immunities in mice showing potential as a Streptococcus vaccine. Cconjugating the trisaccharide repeating unit of Streptococcus polysaccharide with mutant H193A converts the nonimmunogenic oligosaccharide into a highly active and T cell-dependent antigen 755385 3.4.21.110 medicine increased anti-SCPA IgG levels in rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart disease and acute glomerulo nephritis cases. The rise of anti-SCPA IgG observed in patients is irrespective of different emm types of group A streptococci strains isolated from these patients. Indian females show higher concentration of anti-SCPA antibodies than male patients. Anti-SCPA IgG1 and anti-SCPA IgG3 are the predominant subclasses of anti-SCPA antibody and clearly distinguish individuals with acute rheumatic fever from those free of streptococcal disease 687103 3.4.21.110 medicine intranasal immunization with SCPA prevents colonization and infection of human tonsils, thereby eliminating potential reservoirs that maintain endemic disease 673982 3.4.21.110 medicine SCPA is highly immunogenic in children infected with group A streptococcal pharyngitis 673974 3.4.21.110 medicine the enzyme can be useful for development of subunit vaccine against the pathogen Streptococcus zooepidemicus -, 732903 3.4.21.110 medicine the enzyme is used for vaccine development against group B Streptococcus 717499 3.4.21.110 additional information greatly reduces ability to bind to receptors of polymorphonuclear leukocytes as compared with native C5a, inactivation is temperature dependent, mediates a small decrease in the molecular weight of C5adesArg and a six-residue peptide in inactivated C5a is lost 676910 3.4.21.110 additional information ScpA and the multifunctional protein streptococcal plasmin receptor/surface dehydrogenase/glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase are both necessary for the cleavage of C5a on the bacterial surface -, 674559 3.4.21.110 additional information streptococcal C5a peptidase binding to integrins by the Arg-Gly-Asp motifs may stabilize conformational changes required for substrate binding 676783
