Exotoxin production by clinical isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Seventy-five consecutive clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were tested for in vitro exotoxin production. Exotoxin was demonstrated in culture filtrates biologically, by its ability to produce characteristic dermonecrotic lesions in guinea pigs, and seriologically, by counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) with rabbit antiserum elicited with purified exotoxin. By these two methods, exotoxin w...
متن کاملProduction of Pyrrolnitrin by Selected Pseudomonas Species
Twenty-nine strains of Pseudomonas, classified as P. fluorescens biotype D or E or as P. multivorans, were examined for the production of pyrrolnitrin, an antifungal agent synthesized in P. aureofaciens. Eight strains were shown to produce pyrrolnitrin in shake-flask fermentation. Four cultures were from the multivorans taxon, and the remaining four were members of the fluorescens group. The an...
متن کاملThe effect of pseudomonas exotoxin A on cytokine production in whole blood exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
To determine the effect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (P-ExA) on cytokine production, we studied cytokine release induced by heat-killed P. aeruginosa (HKPA) in human whole blood in the presence or absence of P-ExA. P-ExA (0.01-1 microgram ml(-1)) caused a dose-dependent decrease in HKPA-induced production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF), interleukin (IL-) 10, IL-6 and IL-8 (all P<0...
متن کاملInhibition of antibody response to Pseudomonas exotoxin and an immunotoxin containing Pseudomonas exotoxin by 15-deoxyspergualin in mice.
Immunotoxins are potent cell-killing agents that may be useful in the treatment of cancer. The early production of neutralizing antibodies to immunotoxins is one of the major limiting factors for their use in humans. 15-Deoxyspergualin (DSG), a derivative of spergualin, which is a metabolite of Bacillus laterosporus, has been found to have immunosuppressive activity in rodents, dogs, and primat...
متن کاملCD4-Pseudomonas Exotoxin Conjugates Delay
The CD4 molecule is a high affinity receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein (gpl60 or gpl20). This glycoprotein is expressed on the surface membrane of cells infected with HIV. It has, therefore, been suggested that a soluble form ofCD4 might be used as a targeting agent to deliver toxins selectively to cells infected with HIV. We demonstrate that CD4-Pseudomon...
