Combined antibodies against internalins A and B proteins have potential application in immunoassay for detection of .

Unlabelled: is a food-borne bacterium that causes listeriosis upon the ingestion of contaminated food. Traditional methods to detect require pre-enrichment broths to increase its concentration. To improve the screening of contaminated food and prevent listeriosis outbreaks, rapid, specific and sensitive assays are needed to detect This study developed a prototype lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) employing antibodies against Internalin A (InlA) and Internalin B (InlB) proteins, that are involved in non-phagocytic cell invasion.

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) as a therapeutic target in infectious and noninfectious disease: a critical review.

The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is an innate immune receptor found in the surface of several immune and non-immune cells. Since its first description in 2000, this molecule and its soluble form (sTREM-1) have been implicated in many diseases with infectious and noninfectious origins. As an amplifier of inflammation, the membrane-associated TREM-1 (mTREM-1) isoform induces the production of pro-inflammatory mediators, thus contributing to the pathogenesis of diseases such as sepsis, arthritis, colitis and infections.
