The Respiratory Pathogen<i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i>Binds to Laminin via Ubiquitous Surface Proteins A1 and A2

25 Jul 2006

Abstract excerpt

Moraxella catarrhalis is one of the leading causes of exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In the present article, we show that moraxella (n=15) binds to the major basement-membrane glycoprotein laminin, which is thickened in the airways of smokers. Using clinical strains of M. catarrhalis and their corresponding ubiquitous surface protein (Usp) A1/A2 mutants, we demonstrate that UspA1...
