The variable P5 proteins of typeable and non‐typeable Haemophilus influenzae target human CEACAM1
1 Feb 2001
Abstract excerpt
Haemophilus influenzae, a commensal of the human respiratory mucosa, is an important cause of localized and systemic infections. We have recently shown that numerous strains of capsulate (typeable) and acapsulate (non-typeable) H. influenzae target the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family of cell adhesion molecules (CEACAMs). Moreover, the ligands appeared to be antigenically variable and, when using viable...
