Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Antibody RS2-1G9 generated against a 3-oxo-dodecanoyl homoserine lactone analog hapten
Targeting the bacterial N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl homoserine lactone molecules
Protect murine bone marrow-derived macrophages from the cytotoxic effects and also prevented the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38.
Antibody AP4-24H11 elicited against a rationally designed hapten
Sequestration of the autoinducing peptide-4
Suppressed S. aureus pathogenicity in an abscess formation mouse model in vivo and provided complete protection against a lethal Staphylococcus aureus challenge.
