Journal ArticleDOI
The Genome Sequence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Strain 232, the Agent of Swine Mycoplasmosis
F. Chris Minion,Elliot J. Lefkowitz,Melissa L. Madsen,Barbara J. Cleary,Steven Swartzell,Gregory G. Mahairas +5 more
TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, an important member of the porcine respiratory disease complex, is presented, finding few genes with tandem repeat sequences that could be involved in phase switching or antigenic variation and it is not clear how M. hyop pneumoniae evades the immune response and establishes a chronic infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteolytic processing of the Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae cilium adhesin
Steven P. Djordjevic,Stuart J. Cordwell,Michael A. Djordjevic,Jody L. Wilton,F. Chris Minion +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the cilium adhesin is proteolytically processed on the surface, with processing is complex, with cleavage occurring at different frequencies within multiple sites, and is strain specific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-Time PCR Assays To Address Genetic Diversity among Strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
Erin L. Strait,Melissa L. Madsen,F. Chris Minion,Jane Christopher-Hennings,Matthew A. Dammen,Katherine R. Jones,Eileen L. Thacker +6 more
TL;DR: Two new real-time PCR assays that are specific and capable of detecting all of the M. hyopneumoniae isolates used in this study were developed were developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction Test to Determine the Optimal Sampling Sites in Swine
TL;DR: The nested PCR developed for this study was found to be a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tool for M. hyopneumoniae, but the enhanced sensitivity may be unnecessary if the proper sites are sampled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulation into amphiphilic polyanhydride microparticles stabilizes Yersinia pestis antigens.
Brenda R. Carrillo-Conde,Elise Schiltz,Jing Yu,F. Chris Minion,Gregory J. Phillips,Michael J. Wannemuehler,Balaji Narasimhan +6 more
TL;DR: These studies offer an approach by which a thorough understanding of the mechanisms governing antigenic instability can be elucidated in order to optimize the in vivo performance of biodegradable delivery devices as protein carriers and/or vaccine adjuvants.
