A long and winding journey to discover new ways to fight tuberculosis

  • No comments
A study from Tel Aviv University identified two families of human antibodies that bind to the PSTS1 protein of the tuberculosis bacterium, and in a mouse experiment, the antibody treatment led to a 50% reduction in the bacterial load in the lungs.

Cross section of the large subunit of the bacterial ribosome. In yellow - the exit tunnel of the proteins from the ribosome. In red - the binding pocket of erythromycin at the entrance to the tunnel. Bottom right (marked in light blue) – the ribosomal protein L22. In structural and chemical terms, the protein is distant from the binding pocket of the antibiotic.
