abstract

clostridium septicum a gram positive anaerobic bacterium produces several toxins including alpha, beta, gamma and delta. c. septicum alpha toxin is lethal and is responsible for a serious disease known as gas gangrene. the aim of the present study was to molecular cloning and sequencing of c. septicum vaccine strain alpha toxin gene. genomic dna was extracted using standard phenol and chloroform extraction method, and the target gene was amplified through pcr by specific primers. quality and quantity of pcr product was evaluated using agarose gel electrophoresis and confirmed with spectrophotometry. the pcr product was purified and was ligated in pjet1.2blunt cloning vector and was used for e. coli/top10 competent cells transformation. pjetαsep recombinant plasmid was purified and sequenced using universal primers. sequencing and blast analysis of csa showed over 99% identity to other previously deposited csa in the genbank. the csa sequence was deposited in the genbank under accession number jn793989. e. coli/top10/pjetαsep as a recombinant bacterium could be used for purifying of recombinant csa gene and its expression in the suitable prokaryotic hosts.

Molecular 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...

Cloning of Clostridium perfringens iota toxin gene in Escherichia coli

Iota toxin is produced by Clostridium perfringens type E. This toxin causes antibiotic-associated enterotoxemia in lambs and calves. Iota toxin is a binary toxin that has two components including Ia (the enzyme component) and Ib (the binding component). Ib binds to the surface receptor of target cells and translocate Ia into the cytosol of cells. The aim of this study was to clone toxigenic epi...

Alpha Toxin Purification and Antibody Production Against Local Strain of Clostridium septicum NH2

BACKGROUND: Clostridium septicum has played a significant role as a causative agent of many acute fetal diseases in man and animals. Alpha- toxin is the main factor in the pathogenesis of C. septicum with hemolytic, necrotic and lethal activities. OBJECTIVES: The study was designed to evaluate alpha-toxin purification and antibody production rate against a local strain of C. septicum NH2 which ...
