Nonimmune Binding of Human Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgG Fc by Distinct Sequence Segments of the EibF Cell Surface Protein of Escherichia coli
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
The eib genes of Escherichia coli encode surface-exposed proteins which bind immunoglobulins (Ig) such as the Fc fragment of human IgG (IgG Fc) in a nonimmune manner. The Eib proteins belong to a family which includes YadA of Yersinia, UspA2 of Moraxella, and DsrA of Haemophilus ducreyi. This family of surface-exposed proteins shares several features, such as the ability to impart resistance to human serum...
