Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes with numerous roles in the normal immune response to infection. However, excess MMP activity following infection may lead immunopathological processes that cause tissue damage. Their tissues is subject tight control, which regulated by its specific endogenous inhibitors (TIMPs). It known MMPs bind cell surface proteins (e.g. integrins) and such interactions can have modulatory effects on functionality. The...
A seroepidemiological survey in coastal Croatia detected antibodies reactive with Rickettsia conorii 4.2% of sera by immunofluorescence assay and 5.0% enzyme immunoassay. Western immunoblotting demonstrated to the 120-kDa surface protein all 20 positive serum samples examined rickettsial lipopolysaccharide 3 these samples.
