Production of Chicken Egg Yolk Antibody (IgY) Against Recombinant Cholera Toxin B Subunit and Evaluation of Its Prophylaxis Potency in Mice
Background: Cholera toxin (CT), responsible for the harmful effects of cholera infection, is made up of one A subunit (enzymatic), and five B subunits (cell binding). The release of cholera toxin is the main reason for the debilitating loss of intestinal fluid. Inhibition of the B subunit (CTB) may block CT activity. Objective: To determine the effect of anti CTB-IgY against oral challenge with...
متن کاملConstruction and characterization of a Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139 vaccine candidate by genetic engineering.
The present study aimed to construct and evaluate the live attenuated Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139 vaccine candidate, in which genes encoding protective antigens were integrated into the chromosomal DNA. Using the initial strain, O139-ZJ9693, the toxin-linked cryptic (TLC) and cholera toxin (CTX) genetic elements and repeats in the toxin (RTX) gene cluster were deleted from its chromosomal DN...

Backgrounds and Objectives: True cholera with typical clinical features nearly always occurs by serologic groups O1 and O139 but the non-O1 group can produce a disease with same clinical characteristic sporadically. According to the important of climate and environmental conditions in the distribution and abundance of Vibrio cholera, in this study, the distribution of the serologic group was ev...
متن کاملDesign and Construction of Vibrio cholerae Strains That Harbor Various CTX Prophage Arrays
Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains arise upon infection and integration of the lysogenic cholera toxin phage, the CTX phage, into bacterial chromosomes. The V. cholerae serogroup O1 strains identified to date can be broadly categorized into three main groups: the classical biotype strains, which harbor CTX-cla; the prototype El Tor strains (Wave 1 strains), which harbor CTX-1; and the atypical E...
