The authors have developed a homogenous method for the detection of the cells, surface antigen, and Ag8 of glanders and melioidosis pathogens and antibodies to them, based on the compliment-dependent lysis of Ag8-sensitized liposomes. The method is highly specific; its sensitivity to antibodies to glanders and melioidosis pathogens is 24 to 440 times higher than that of RID: its sensitivity to Ag8 is 100 ng/ml corresponding to 1.25x10-10 M, and its sensitivity to cells is 10(5) to 10(6) cells/ml).

Article Synopsis
- Bpc species are Gram-negative bacteria causing diseases like melioidosis and glanders, with recent advances in vaccine development focusing on subunit and glycoconjugate vaccines.
- The Bcc species, a second group of pathogenic bacteria, mainly affects those with weakened immune systems and has limited vaccine development efforts.
- This review aims to evaluate the protective efficacy of various Bpc antigens, their study limitations, and whether these antigens could be used in a broader vaccine to protect against both Bpc and Bcc bacterial infections.

Intracellular bacteria are threatened by ubiquitin-mediated autophagy, whenever the bacterial surface or enclosing membrane structures become targets of host ubiquitin ligases. As a countermeasure, many intracellular pathogens encode deubiquitinase (DUB) effectors to keep their surfaces free of ubiquitin. Most bacterial DUBs belong to the OTU or CE-clan families.
