Single-chain antibodies neutralize activity and bind nonoverlapping epitopes of botulinum A neurotoxin. Two phage display epitope libraries were constructed from the 1.3 kb of binding domain cDNA. The minimal epitopes selected against the single-chain Fv-Fc antibodies correspond to conformational epitopes with amino acid residues 1115 to 1223 (S25), 1131 to 1264 (3D12), and 889 to 1294 (C25).

infectious disease. Most of the vaccines available today are injected parenterally, and they are not effective for inducing immunity at mucosal surfaces. In contrast, oral vaccines elicit both mucosal and systemic immune responses and have the advantages of self-administration. However, the oral administration of vaccines has the problem of antigen degradation by gastric acid and proteolytic en...

The random transposon mutagenesis system P(junc)-TpaseIS(1223) is composed of plasmids pVI129, expressing IS1223 transposase, and pVI110, a suicide transposon plasmid carrying the P(junc) sequence, the substrate of the IS1223 transposase. This system is particularly efficient in Lactobacillus casei, as more than 10,000 stable, random mutants were routinely obtained via electroporation.
