Lipoproteins
Wolbachia Lipoprotein Stimulates Innate and Adaptive Immunity through Toll-like Receptors 2 and 6 to Induce Disease Manifestations of Filariasis Joseph D. Turner J. Biol. Chem. 2009 284: 22364-22378.
BindPro™ can eliminate the artifacts of protein contamination and improve study of amino acids, sugars, lipids, nucleotides, and other biomolecules from biological tissues and fluids. In this article, researchers used Cleanascite™ first to determine if TLR2/6 ligands of Wolbachia are lipoproteins for removing lipids and lipoproteins. Next BindPro™, a polymeric protein removal suspension reagent (Biotech Support Group)was used to ablate levels of HEK-TLR2 cell IL-8 reporter gene activity to BMFE thereby showing that the TLR2/6 activity depends on both lipid and protein moieties.
