A bovine CD18 signal peptide variant with increased binding activity to Mannheimia hemolytica leukotoxin
2018-12-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Mannheimia haemolytica is the major bacterial infectious agent of bovine respiratory disease complex and causes severe morbidity and mortality during lung infections. M. haemolytica secretes a protein leukotoxin (Lkt) that binds to the CD18 receptor on leukocytes, initiates lysis, induces inflammation, and causes acute fibrinous bronchopneumonia. Lkt binds the 22-amino acid CD18 signal pepti...
