Abstract excerpt
The bacterial immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) proteases are putative virulence factors secreted by a number of human pathogens capable of penetrating the mucosal barrier. Among Haemophilus influenzae strains, the IgA1 protease is found in several allelic forms with different serological neutralizing pro...
