Application of knockout mice to the experimental analysis of infections with bacteria and protozoa.

Abstract:

:Knockout mice with distinct gene deletions are valuable tools for in vivo analyses of the immune response against infectious agents. Studies of bacterial and protozoal infections have shown that antimicrobial immunity is generally defective in knockout mice. At one extreme, deletion of just one gene may completely compromise resistance, while at the other extreme, redundancy in the immune system allows partial compensation for the deleted part.

  • How Bacteria Use Type IV Pili Machinery on Surfaces.

    abstract::The bacterial type IV pilus (T4P) is a versatile molecular machine with a broad range of functions. Recent advances revealed that the molecular components and the biophysical properties of the machine are well conserved among phylogenetically distant bacterial species. However, its functions are diverse, and include a...
