Inactivation of Bacterial Exotoxins and Endotoxin by Iron
After incubation with various agents in vitro, the lethal effects of aqueous solutions of Cl. perfringens alpha toxin, C. diphtheriae toxin, and E. coli endotoxin were tested in mice, guinea pigs, and rabbits, respectively. Iron, copper, cysteine, ascorbic acid, and versene counteracted the lethal effects of alpha toxin in mice, while magnesium, manganese, zinc, and citrate did not. Iron also c...
متن کاملBacterial Exotoxins and the Inflammasome
The inflammasomes are intracellular protein complexes that play an important role in innate immune sensing. Activation of inflammasomes leads to activation of caspase-1 and maturation and secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. In certain myeloid cells, this activation can also lead to an inflammatory cell death (pyroptosis). Inflammasome sensor proteins have ...
متن کاملBacterial pyrogenic exotoxins as superantigens.
The recent discovery of the mode of interaction between a group of microbial proteins known as superantigens and the immune system has opened a wide area of investigation into the possible role of these molecules in human diseases. Superantigens produced by certain viruses and bacteria, including Mycoplasma species, are either secreted or membrane-bound proteins. A unique feature of these prote...
متن کاملInactivation of Endotoxin by Humoral Component. Iii
In a preliminary communication (1), we reported that human serum inactivated endotoxin derived from bacterial, mammalian and plant sources but that serum of rabbits and mice did not possess this property. In the accompanying report (2) these observations were extended to the examination of the sera from nine mammalian species. In each of these species the relative effectiveness of citrated plas...
متن کاملInactivation of Endotoxin by a Humoral Component
The uniformly high potency of citrated plasma as compared with the limited capacity of serum to inactivate endotoxin in vitro was found to be a consequence of the anticoagulant employed in collecting the plasma. Addition of calcium to plasma suppressed the activity of its endotoxm detoxifying component (EDC) whereas the addition of calcium-binding anticoagulants rendered serum comparable to pla...
