Proteomic Analysis of Human U937 Cell Line Activation Mediated by<i>Haemophilus influenzae</i>Type b P2 Porin and Its Surface-Exposed Loop 7
31 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
The virulence of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) has been attributed to a variety of potential factors associated with its cell surface, including lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and major outer membrane proteins (OMPs). P2 porin, one of the best-characterized porins in terms of its functional characteristics, is the most abundant OMP in Hib and has also been shown to possess proinflammatory activity. To...
