T1  - Development and evaluation of new methods to analyse the proteome of Listeria monocytogenes in infected host cells
N2  - In dieser Arbeit wurden neue Methoden zur Analyse des Proteoms von Listeria monocytogenes in infizierten Wirtszellen entwickelt und evaluiert. Proteomische Analysen können im Vergleich zu transkriptomischen Analysen durch Erfassung von Proteinmengen und eventuell auch posttranslationalen Modifikationen, sowie von Abbauprozessen ein genaueres Abbild des Funktionszustands einer Zelle unter unterschiedlichen Umweltbedingungen darstellen. Das Hauptproblem bei proteomischen Untersuchungen an in eukaryontischen Wirtszellen gewachsenen Bakterien, nämlich die Überlagerung des bakteriellen Proteinmusters durch die im Überschuss vorhandenen Wirtszellproteine, musste in dieser Arbeit überwunden werden. Es wurde eine Methode etabliert, intrazellulär gewachsene Bakterien über Bindung an paramagnetische Partikel („Beads“) und anschließende Magnetseparation selektiv von Wirtszellkomponenten abzutrennen. Dabei wurden drei Beads-Varianten mit unterschiedlicher Beschichtung gewählt: Dynabeads anti Listeria (Dynal, Oslo), Kieselgel  Magnetit Beads (MERCK in Entwicklung), Dynabeads M-270 Epoxy – CBD Beads (Beschichtung mit Phagenlysin Ply 118). Hierbei konnte nur für die Kieselgel + Magnetit Beads eine hinreichende Isolierungsrate für die Methode der 2-D-Gelelektrophorese von 6-7* 10**7 Listerien/ Zellkulturflasche erreicht werden. Im 2-D-Proteingel zeigte sich jedoch eine starke Streifenbildung, wodurch sich dieser Ansatz als nicht auswertbar erwies. In einem alternativen Ansatz gelang es, aus Infektionen an J774-Makrophagen, die Listerien mittels konsekutiver Waschschritte von Wirtszellproteinen aufzureinigen. Es konnten aus den Infektionen 30-50 µg listerielles Protein isoliert und zweidimensional aufgetrennt werden, wobei das Proteinpattern qualitativ eindeutig dem von in vitro gewachsenen Listeria monocytogenes entsprach. Auf diese Weise konnten 38 Proteine von Listeria monocytogenes, welche von Listerien während der Infektion in Makrophagen induziert oder reprimiert werden anhand der Deta-2-D Software identifiziert, quantifiziert und statistisch ausgewertet werden. Für einige der hier mittels der neu entwickelten Methode identifizierten Proteine konnte anhand der der vorliegenden Literatur (zu Transkriptom, Sekretom, Virulenz von Listeria) bereits eine Beteiligung am Virulenzgeschehen nachgewiesen werden. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt unterliegt die proteomische Analyse einigen Limitierungen, z.B. beim Nachweis von schwach exprimierten, stark alkalischen, stark hydrophoben, hochmolekularen und niedermolekularen Proteinen, so dass die derzeitige Methodik noch nicht das gesamte Proteom abdecken kann. Dass die „klassischen“ Virulenzfaktoren pathogener Listerien, Listeriolysin O (LLO), die Phospholipasen PlcA und PlcB, sowie ActA hier nicht erfasst wurden, ist darin begründet, dass es sich um sekretierte Proteine handelt. Besondere Bedeutung kommt der Beobachtung zu, dass nur in ganz wenigen Fällen (z.B. Pgm, ClpP, Pgi, TrxB, MurC) die nachgewiesenen intrazellulären Veränderungen der Proteinmenge mit den von anderen publizierten Transkriptionsdaten übereinstimmen. Diese Diskrepanzen stellen keine Artefakte dar, sondern sind durch intrazelluläre posttranskriptionelle Mechanismen begründet. Insgesamt zeigte auch diese Proteinanalyse , dass bei Replikation von Listeria monocytogenes im Cytosol eukaryontischer Wirtszellen zahlreiche komplexe Anpassungen von teils zentralen aber auch peripheren Stoffwechselwegen und Biosynthesen der Bakterien an dieses spezielle Milieu ablaufen.
N2  - In this thesis new methods to analyse the proteome of Listeria monocytogens in infected host cells have been developed. Proteomic analyses, in comparison to transcriptomic analysis, by their capacity to detect actual protein amounts and possibly post translational modifications as well as degradation processes are able to give a more precise picture of the functional status of a cell under diverse environmental conditions.The main problem of proteomic analyses, with bacteria grown inside eukaryotic host cells, the superimposition of the bacterial protein pattern by the exceedingly present host cell proteins had to be overcome. Methods have been established to selectively isolate intracellularly grown bacteria by binding to paramagnetic beads and subsequent magnetic separation from the host cell components. At this three differently coated types of beads [Dynabeads anti Listeria (Dynal, Oslo), silica gel  magnetite Beads (MERCK under way), Dynabeads M-270 Epoxy – CBD Beads (coated with phagolysine Ply 118)] have been used. At this it was only possible for the “Kieselgel + Magnetit Beads” to reach a sufficient isolation rate for the method of 2-D-electrophoresis of 6-7 * 10**7 Listeria/ cell culture flask. In the 2-D-proteingel there showed up a bad streaking whereby this approach proved not to be evaluable. In an alternative approach at infections of J774-macrophages it succeded to purify the listeria by consecutive washing steps out of the host cells. It was possible to isolate 30-50 µg listerial proteins out of infections in J774-macrophages and to have them two-dimensionally separated whereby the protein pattern qualitatively clearly matched that of in vitro grown Listeria monocytogenes. In such way it was possible to identify 38 proteins of Listeria monocytogenes, which have been induced or suppressed during the infections in macrophages and to have them identified, quantified and statistically evaluated with the Delta-2-D software. There was already evidence for some of the proteins that have been identified by the newly established method, on the basis of the present literature (on transcriptome, secretome, virulence of Listeria), for a participation in the course of infection. Up to now the proteomic analysis is subject to some restrictions for example in the detection of weakly expressed, strong alkaline, strong hydrophobic, high-molecular weight and low-molecular weight proteins so that the current methodology can not cover the whole proteome. That the “classic” virulence factors of pathogenic listeria, listeriolysin O (LLO), the phospholipases PlcA and PlcB, as well as ActA are not captured is caused by the fact that these proteins are secreted. Of particular importance is the observation that in very little cases (e.g. Pgm, ClpP, Pgi, TrxB, MurC) the detected intracellular changes in protein amount are consistent with the published transcription data. These discrepancies constitute no artefacts but are caused by intracellular posttranscriptional mechanisms. Altogether also this protein analysis reveals that during replication of Listeria monocytogenes in the eucaryotic host cell cytosol numerous complex adaptations of partly central but also peripheral metabolic pathways and biosyntheses to that specific milieu take place.

T1  - Sensitive and Specific Immunohistochemical Diagnosis of Human Alveolar Echinococcosis with the Monoclonal Antibody Em2G11
JF  - PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
N2  - Background: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the metacestode stage of Echinococcus multilocularis. Differential diagnosis with cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by E. granulosus and AE is challenging. We aimed at improving diagnosis of AE on paraffin sections of infected human tissue by immunohistochemical testing of a specific antibody. 
Methodology/Principal Findings: We have analysed 96 paraffin archived specimens, including 6 cutting needle biopsies and 3 fine needle aspirates, from patients with suspected AE or CE with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) Em2G11 specific for the Em2 antigen of E. multilocularis metacestodes. In human tissue, staining with mAb Em2G11 is highly specific for E. multilocularis metacestodes while no staining is detected in CE lesions. In addition, the antibody detects small particles of E. multilocularis (spems) of less than 1 mm outside the main lesion in necrotic tissue, liver sinusoids and lymphatic tissue most probably caused by shedding of parasitic material. The conventional histological diagnosis based on haematoxylin and eosin and PAS stainings were in accordance with the immunohistological diagnosis using mAb Em2G11 in 90 of 96 samples. In 6 samples conventional subtype diagnosis of echinococcosis had to be adjusted when revised by immunohistology with mAb Em2G11. 
Conclusions/Significance: Immunohistochemistry with the mAb Em2G11 is a new, highly specific and sensitive diagnostic tool for AE. The staining of small particles of E. multilocularis (spems) outside the main lesion including immunocompetent tissue, such as lymph nodes, suggests a systemic effect on the host.

T1  - The German national registry of primary immunodeficiencies (2012-2017)
JF  - Frontiers in Immunology
N2  - Introduction: The German PID-NET registry was founded in 2009, serving as the first national registry of patients with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) in Germany. It is part of the European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID) registry. The primary purpose of the registry is to gather data on the epidemiology, diagnostic delay, diagnosis, and treatment of PIDs. 

Methods: Clinical and laboratory data was collected from 2,453 patients from 36 German PID centres in an online registry. Data was analysed with the software Stata® and Excel. 

Results: The minimum prevalence of PID in Germany is 2.72 per 100,000 inhabitants. Among patients aged 1-25, there was a clear predominance of males. The median age of living patients ranged between 7 and 40 years, depending on the respective PID. Predominantly antibody disorders were the most prevalent group with 57% of all 2,453 PID patients (including 728 CVID patients). A gene defect was identified in 36% of patients. Familial cases were observed in 21% of patients. The age of onset for presenting symptoms ranged from birth to late adulthood (range 0-88 years). Presenting symptoms comprised infections (74%) and immune dysregulation (22%). Ninety-three patients were diagnosed without prior clinical symptoms. Regarding the general and clinical diagnostic delay, no PID had undergone a slight decrease within the last decade. However, both, SCID and hyper IgE-syndrome showed a substantial improvement in shortening the time between onset of symptoms and genetic diagnosis. Regarding treatment, 49% of all patients received immunoglobulin G (IgG) substitution (70%-subcutaneous; 29%-intravenous; 1%-unknown). Three-hundred patients underwent at least one hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Five patients had gene therapy. 

Conclusion: The German PID-NET registry is a precious tool for physicians, researchers, the pharmaceutical industry, politicians, and ultimately the patients, for whom the outcomes will eventually lead to a more timely diagnosis and better treatment.
