Abstract

Mycoplasma bovis is a major bovine pathogen that causes considerable economic losses in the cattle industry worldwide. Moreover,M. bovisbiofilm can persist in the environment and its host. To date,M. bovisbiofilm antigens recognized by bovine convalescent sera and their comparison with planktonic cells have not yet been explored. This study utilized an immunoproteomic approach using two-dimensional electrophoresis, immunoblotting using convalescent bovine serum, and subsequent matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS) to identify the immunoreactive proteins expressed in biofilm- and planktonic-grownM. bovisstrain 08M. Results showed thatM. bovisbiofilms and planktonic cells demonstrate differential immunoreactivity to bovine convalescent serum for the first time. A total of 10 and 8 immunoreactive proteins were identified for biofilms and planktonic cells, respectively. To our knowledge, a total of 12 out of 15 had not been reported as immunoreactive proteins inM. bovis, and six were specific toM. bovisbiofilms. Three proteins, namely, endoglucanase, thiol peroxidase, and one putative membrane protein, that is, mycoplasma immunogenic lipase A, were identified in planktonic cells and biofilms. Most of the identified proteins were cytoplasmic proteins that were mainly involved in transport and metabolism. Moreover, ATP binding, oxidoreductase activity, and GTP binding were their most representative molecular functions. DnaK and Tuf appeared to be the most interactive immunoreactive agent among the identified proteins. Furthermore, six proteins had potential as serodiagnostic antigens. These data will be helpful to improve our current understanding on the host response toM. bovisbiofilms and planktonic cells, which may facilitate the development of novel molecular candidates of improved diagnostics and vaccines to preventM. bovisinfections.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 September 2021.
All research outputs
#6,871,772
of 23,028,364 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#6,980
of 25,154 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#120,307
of 332,024 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#244
of 589 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,028,364 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 25,154 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,024 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 589 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
