Purification and biochemical properties of Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin.
The sporulation-specific enterotoxin of Clostridium perfringens type A, which is the toxin active in human food poisoning, has been purified from extracts of sporulating cells. Highly purified enterotoxin was obtained by treatment of crude cell extract with ribonuclease for 30 min, followed by sequential chromatography on Sephadex G-100, Cellex T cellulose, and hydroxylapatite. Recovery was 65 ...
متن کاملProteolysis of Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin during purification.
The small satellite bands of enterotoxin frequently seen in polyacrylamide gels following purification of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin were found to be due to endogenous protease activity and were not present if phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF; 1 mM) and EDTA (10 mM) were used in the purification protocol. The use of PMSF was avoided by passing gel filtration-purified enterotoxin mat...
متن کاملAffinity chromatography purification of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin.
Anti-enterotoxin immunoglobulins immobilized on CH-Sepharose or CNBr-Sepharose were used for affinity chromatography purification of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin. Cell extracts containing enterotoxin or partially purified toxin preparations were applied to the column and nonspecifically-bound protein was eluted. NaOH was used to elute specifically bound toxin. The purity of enterotoxin p...
متن کاملPreparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis purification of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin.
Preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has been used to purify the enterotoxin of Clostridium perfringens from Sephadex G-100 extracts. Purified toxin of high specific activity was eluted in 1 to 3 h, depending upon the length of the acrylamide gel used. Recovery of biological activity with this technique ranged from 80 to 90%. The purity and physical characteristics of the toxin were s...
متن کاملImproved method for purification of enterotoxin from Clostridium perfringens type A.
The purification procedure of Clostridium perfringens type A enterotoxin has been improved. The cell sonic extract was precipitated twice with ammonium sulfate, first 40% saturated to concentrate the enterotoxin and then 15% saturated. The two precipitations were followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enterotoxin appeared to be homogeneous on 7% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis aft...
