Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Treponema pallidum antibody (AB20923)

Immunohistochemical analysis of HIV-infected syphilitic skin tissue, staining Treponema pallidum with ab20923.

Antigen retrieval was performed before blocking with normal horse serum and 2% BSA. Samples were incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4°C. A biotinylated horse anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody. Staining was detected using AEC.

Supplementary information

Treponema pallidum also known as T. pallidum is a spirochete bacterium responsible for syphilis. It is a pathogen with a mass of approximately 1000 to 1500 kilodaltons. This bacterium expresses itself through a complex outer membrane rich in lipoproteins which allows it to evade the host immune response. Treponema pallidum resides primarily in various human tissues and fluids particularly the bloodstream where it can disseminate throughout the body.
Biological function summary

The spirochete bacterium causes systemic infection and can invade multiple organs and systems. As part of a highly invasive entity Treponema pallidum can penetrate the endothelium and interact with host cells promoting persistent infection. It lacks numerous enzymes found in other bacteria which makes it dependent on the host for nutrients complicating its study. The bacterium is adept at avoiding the immune system partly due to its limited surface proteins that are targeted by host defenses.

Pathways

The interaction of Treponema pallidum with host immune pathways involves critical interference with host-pathogen interactions. It affects pathways related to immune evasion influencing the complement system and cytokine signaling. The bacterium influences other proteins like those regulating immune responses resulting in altered host immune functionalities. It exploits these pathways to promote survival and successful infection within the host.

Treponema pallidum causes syphilis a chronic disease characterized by multiple clinical stages including primary secondary and tertiary syphilis. It also has associations with neurosyphilis which affects the nervous system. Treponema pallidum's involvement with these conditions often relates to immune response alterations and inflammation mediated through its impact on proteins involved in immune signaling and neurological systems. Understanding these interactions can facilitate development of effective treatments or preventive measures.
