Toxicity and immunogenicity of a verotoxin 1 mutant with reduced globotriaosylceramide receptor binding in rabbits.
The verotoxins (VT1 and VT2), produced by strains of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic colitis and the hemolytic uremic syndrome. To better understand the role of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) receptor binding by the verotoxins in disease production, we examined the clinicopathologic effects of an intravenously (i.v.) administered verotoxi...
متن کاملVerotoxin-1 Treatment or Manipulation of its Receptor Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) for Reversal of Multidrug Resistance to Cancer Chemotherapy
A major problem with anti-cancer drug treatment is the development of acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) of the tumor cells. Verotoxin-1 (VT-1) exerts its cytotoxicity by targeting the globotriaosylceramide membrane receptor (Gb3), a glycolipid associated with multidrug resistance. Gb3 is overexpressed in many human tumors and tumor cell lines with inherent or acquired MDR. Gb3 is co-expressed...
متن کاملNMR studies on the dynamics and structure of Verotoxin-1 B subunits binding to its functional plasma membrane receptor, Globotriaosylceramide, Gb3
Introduction Verotoxin (VT) was first reported by Konowalchuk et al. in 1977. Although VT-producing E. coli strains belong to several different serotypes, 0157:H7 is the dominant serotype isolated from patients suffering from food poisoning. The infection frequently develops into hemorrhagic colitis. Furthermore, about 10% of these cases develop into the haemolytic uremic syndrome, which is the...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولRole of receptor binding in toxicity, immunogenicity, and adjuvanticity of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin.
The role of receptor binding in the toxicity, immunogenicity, and adjuvanticity of the heat-labile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli (LT) was examined by comparing native LT and LT(G33D), a B-subunit receptor binding mutant, with respect to the ability to bind to galactose and to GM1, toxicity on mouse Y-1 adrenal tumor cells, the ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase in Caco-2 cells, enterotoxi...
