Probing of a Human Proteome Microarray With a Recombinant Pathogen Protein Reveals a Novel Mechanism by Which Hookworms Suppress B-Cell Receptor Signaling
19 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Na-ASP-2 is an efficacious hookworm vaccine antigen. However, despite elucidation of its crystal structure and studies addressing its immunobiology, the function of Na-ASP-2 has remained elusive. We probed a 9000-protein human proteome microarray with Na-ASP-2 and showed binding to CD79A, a component of the B-cell antigen receptor complex. Na-ASP-2 bound to human B lymphocytes ex vivo and downregulated the...
