PMNs were isolated from venous blood of healthy individuals in accordance with a protocol approved by the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Human PMNs (107) were cultured in RPMI/H -/+ 100 ng/ml GM-CSF at 37°C and 5% CO2 for up to ...

The role of Pantonâ??Valentine leukocidin (PVL) in Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis is controversial. Here, we show that an unintended point mutation in the agr P2 promoter of S.aureus caused the phenotypes in gene regulation and murine pneumonia attributed to PVL by Labandeiraâ??Rey et al. (Scien...

Panton-valentine leukocidin (PVL) has been linked to worldwide emergence of community-associated methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) -- its role in virulence in unclear. Here we show that PVL had no effect on global gene expression of prominent CA-MRSA strains nor did it affect ba...

Hyper IgE Recurrent Infection Syndrome (HIES or Job’s syndrome), is a rare disorder of immunity and connective tissue, typically manifest with boils, cyst-forming pneumonias, and extremely elevated serum IgE as well as retained primary dentition and bone abnormalities. Inheritance can be autosomal...

Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections are often caused by strains encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). PVL can cause lysis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and other myeloid cells in vitro, a function considered widely as the primary means...

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bloodstream infections worldwide. In the United States, many of these infections are caused by a strain known as USA300. Although progress has been made, our understanding of the S. aureus molecules that promote bacteremia and survival in human blood is ...

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were obtained from healthy individuals in accordance with protocols approved by the Institutional Review Board for Human Subjects at the University of Minnesota and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. PMNs (107) were combined on ice with liv...

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were obtained from healthy individuals (Healthy1, Healthy2, Healthy3, and Healthy4) or patients with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (XCGD1, XCGD2, XCGD3, XCGD4, XCGD5, and XCGD6). The studies were performed in accordance with a protocol approved by the Ins...
