چکیده

Details for the preparation and partial purification of culture supernatant fluids of Vibrio cholerae (V. comma) 569B which retain rabbit ileal loop fluid-accumulating activity are presented. These preparations were fractionated on Sephadex G-200 and on diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex. On the latter, two fractions were obtained by elution with a linear sodium chloride gradient. The fraction designated "fraction I" retains the toxic activity as demonstrated in the rabbit ileal loop model. Chemical and immunological properties of this active fraction are described.

Comparison of the tissue receptors for Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli enterotoxins by means of gangliosides and natural cholera toxoid.

The in vitro binding properties of enterotoxins of Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli to different pure gangliosides and related neutral glycosphin-golipids were analyzed with a sorbent assay utilizing plastic tubes to which the glycolipid substances had been coupled. It was found that the cholera toxin bound to G(M1) ganglioside better than to the other tested substances G(M3), G(M3)-NGN, G(...

Designing and Expression of Recombinant Chimeric Protein Containing CtxB and OmpW from Vibrio Cholerae and Evaluation of Its Immunogenicity

Background: Cholera disease caused by Vibrio cholerae remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Various strategies with different proteins as immunogens have been tried for vaccine development, none of which have been sufficiently effective to preclude cholera. Chimeric proteins, with their ability to present multiple antigens at the same time, can play important ro...

Evidence for production of an enterotoxin and cholera toxin cross-reactive factor by Aeromonas hydrophila.

The enterotoxins produced by Aeromonas hydrophila were examined for biological activity by the rabbit ileal loop and suckling mouse assays, as well as by elongation of CHO cells. Antigenic evaluation of the culture filtrates from various isolates of A. hydrophila was performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with anti-cholera toxin and anti-Aeromonas enterotoxin. Heat stability data demons...

Pathological changes in the rabbit ileal loop model caused by Campylobacter jejuni from human colitis.

Four strains of Campylobacter jejuni isolated from children with inflammatory diarrhoea were assayed in the rabbit ileal loop model of infectious diarrhoea. All caused inflammatory reactions with severe macroscopic and microscopic damage in infected rabbit ileal tissue similar to that observed in the patients by endoscopy and histological analysis of colonic biopsies. Haemoglobin and other prot...
