There is limited information concerning the nature and extent of the immune response to the
virulence determinants of Yersinia pestis during the course of plague infection. In this study …

The immune response of humans and mice to temperature-specific, plasmid-or chromosome-
encoded proteins of yersinia pestis and Yersinia enterocolitica was investigated by sodium …

To evaluate the role of Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) in conferring protective immunity
against plague, six yop loci from Yersinia pestis were individually amplified by PCR, cloned …

Yersinia pestis (Y. Pestis) is an infamous pathogen causing plague pandemics throughout
history and is a selected agent of bioterrorism threatening public health. Y. pestis was first …

The pathogenesis of infection with Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague, was
examined following subcutaneous infection of BALB/c mice with a fully virulent strain …

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) extracted from eight strains of Yersinia pestis, which had been
cultured at 28 or 37° C, reacted equally well, in Western blots, with four monoclonal …

V antigen of Yersinia pestis is a multifunctional protein that has been implicated as a
protective antigen, a virulence factor, and a regulatory protein. A series of V-antigen …

The virulence of Yersinia enterocolitica, biotype 2, serotype O: 8, in mice is related to its
ability to produce plague V and W antigens. V and W antigens in Y. enterocolitica are shown …

Plague caused by Yersinia pestis manifests itself in bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic
forms. Although the US Food and Drug Administration recently approved levofloxacin, there …

Plague is a life-threatening disease caused by Yersinia pestis, for which effective-licensed
vaccines and reliable predictors of in vivo immunity are lacking. V antigen (LcrV) is a major …
