Engineered lactic acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis capable of binding antibodies and tumor necrosis factor alpha.
Applied and environmental microbiology 20100827 20
We have optimized the display of the B domain of staphylococcal protein A on the surface of Lactococcus lactis. The maximum binding capacity was estimated at 0.146 μg of antibody per 10⁸ cells and was sustained at 86% after treatment with simulated gastric juice. A tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-binding affibody was also displayed and bound TNF-α, which could be useful in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. ...[more]
