Recombinant Cholera Toxin B Subunit Activates Dendritic Cells and Enhances Antitumor Immunity

Expression of Recombinant Protein B Subunit Pili from Vibrio Cholera

Background & Aims: Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that causes cholera disease. Following ingestion by a host and entry into the upper intestine, V. cholera colonizes and begins to emit enterotoxin. One of the most pathogenic factors of Vibrio cholera is toxin-coregulated pili (TCP). ToxinCoregulated pili is as the primary factor requiered for the colonization and insisten...

Fusion of Cholera toxin B subunit (ctxB) with Shigella dysenteriae type I toxin B subunit (stxB), Cloning and Expression that in E. coli

Background and Objective: Shiga toxin (STx) is the main virulence factor in Shigella Dysenteriae type I and is composed of an enzymatic subunit STxA monomer and a receptor-binding STxB homopentamer. Shigella toxin B subunit (STxB) is a non-toxic homopentameric protein responsible for toxin binding and internalization into target cells by interacting with glycolipid (Gb3). Cholera toxi...

Cholera Toxin B-Subunit Prevents Activation

Expression and mutagenesis of recombinant cholera toxin A subunit.

ADP-ribosylating protein exotoxins from Vibrio cholerae (CT) and Escherichia coli (LT-I) share two short regions of sequence similarity with Bordetella pertussis toxin (PT). Previous studies have indicated that substitution of arginine for lysine 7 within the first region of CT drastically decreases ADP ribosyltransferase activity. We have more closely defined the role of other amino acids in t...
