Modulation of B lymphocyte signalling by the B subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin.
The non-toxic B subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (EtxB) is a potent mucosal adjuvant and immunomodulator capable of blocking autoimmune disease. These effects are linked with its ability to modulate lymphocyte populations--a feature that is dependent on binding to ubiquitously expressed cell surface receptors. Here, we demonstrate that EtxB can trigger up-regulated expression...
متن کاملHeat - labile Enterotoxin of Escherichia coli
Heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) was obtained in large quantities (several-gram amounts) and great purity from Escherichia coli C600 carrying the LT-coding multicopy plasmid EWD299. By growing this strain on a medium that allows high cell densities in the early stationary phase, we increased the net LT production per milliliter by a factor of 200, compared to natural porcine enterotoxigenic E. coli...
متن کاملExpression of functional pentameric heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit of Escherichia coli in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Although the Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit (LTB) has already been expressed in several different systems, including prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, studies regarding the synthesis of LTB into oligomeric structures of pentameric size in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been limited. Therefore, this study used a functional signal peptide of the amylase 1A...
متن کاملEscherichia coli Heat - labile Enterotoxin NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE
We report the complete DNA sequence of the Escherichia coli elt A gene, which codes for the A subunit of the heat-labile enterotoxin, LT. The amino acid sequence of the LT A subunit has been deduced from the DNA sequence of elt A. The LT A subunit starts with methionine, ends with leucine, and comprises 264 amino acids. The computed molecular weight of LT A is 29,673. The A subunit of cho...
متن کاملParenteral adjuvant potential of recombinant B subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin
BACKGROUND The B subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LTB) is a potent mucosal immune adjuvant. However, there is little information about LTB's potential as a parenteral adjuvant. OBJECTIVES We aimed at evaluating and better understanding rLTB's potential as a parenteral adjuvant using the fused R1 repeat of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae P97 adhesin as an antigen to characterise t...
