Purification of beta-toxin from Clostridium perfringens type C.
Beta-toxin was purified about 340-fold from culture supernatant fluid of Clostridium perfringens type C with a yield of about 24% in terms of biologically active beta-toxin. The purification involved ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration through Sephadex G-100, isoelectrofocusing in a pH 3 to 6 gradient, and immunoaffinity chromatography. The purified beta-toxin gave a single band on p...
متن کاملa new purification method for beta-toxin of clostridium perfringens type c vaccinal strain
background : clostridium perfringens type c strains cause severe necrotizing enteritis in sheep, calves, goats, pigs and humans. beta-toxin is introduced to be the essential virulence factor of this microorganism. in the present study, a new method was established for the purification of beta toxin from culture supernatant fluid of c. perfringens type c vaccinal strain. methods : the four steps...
متن کاملThe partial purification of Clostridium perfringens beta toxin.
An attempt was made to purify Clostridium perfringens Beta toxin. Crude toxin prepared by ammonium sulphate precipitation of culture supernatants was purified by chromatography on Sephadex G50, Sephadex G100 and DEAE cellulose. This material, although highly purified was not homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It had a toxicity of 800 000 mouse MLDs/mg N, a typical protein absorp...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning of Clostridium Perfringens type B Vaccine Strain Beta Toxin Gene in E. coli
Clostridium perfringens is a gram-positive, obligate anaerobic bacterium, which is widely distributed in the environment. C. perfringens is subdivided to 5 groups (types A to E), based on its four major toxin (alpha, beta, epsilon and iota). C. perfringens type B beta toxin causes inflammation and bloody necrotic enteritis. Type B related enterotoxaemia is a major problem of veterinary sciences...
متن کاملCharacterization of toxin plasmids in Clostridium perfringens type C isolates.
Clostridium perfringens type C isolates cause enteritis necroticans in humans or necrotizing enteritis and enterotoxemia in domestic animals. Type C isolates always produce alpha toxin and beta toxin but often produce additional toxins, e.g., beta2 toxin or enterotoxin. Since plasmid carriage of toxin-encoding genes has not been systematically investigated for type C isolates, the current study...
