Immunoreactivity and bioactivity of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein in normal and heat-inactivated sera.

abstract：:Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a leading cause of seafood-borne gastroenteritis; however, its virulence mechanisms are not well understood. The identification of type III secreted proteins has provided candidate virulence factors whose functions are still being elucidated. Genotypic strain variability contributes a level ...
