Properties of crude Campylobacter jejuni heat-labile enterotoxin.
The amount of crude Campylobacter jejuni enterotoxin present in culture products was quantitated by comparing the response of these preparations with that of pure Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin (LT) in the Chinese hamster ovary assay and in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays that used GM ganglioside or antisera to LT or both. Maximum C. jejuni enterotoxin production was achieved by growth a...
متن کاملTyping of heat-stable and heat-labile antigens of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli by coagglutination.
A coagglutination system has been devised for typing heat-stable and heat-labile antigens of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli. The use of protein A-positive Staphylococcus aureus cells carrying Campylobacter sp. serotype antibody and the treatment of Campylobacter sp. cells with DNase in the antigen suspension permitted rapid and specific coagglutination of rough (autoagglutinable) as well as s...
متن کاملEvaluation of commercial antisera for serotyping heat-labile antigens of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli.
Commercial antisera for serotyping 22 heat-labile antigens of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli were evaluated by using 66 isolates from human and nonhuman sources. Test results were compared with results of tests using antisera produced at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Atlanta, Ga. All strains (three isolates of each of the 22 serotypes) were typeable with the CDC antisera. ...
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 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...
