Carbohydrate inhibitors of cholera toxin [PDF]
Cholera is a diarrheal disease caused by a protein toxin released by Vibrio cholera in the host’s intestine. The toxin enters intestinal epithelial cells after binding to specific carbohydrates on the cell surface.

Cholera toxin phage: structural and functional diversity between Vibrio cholerae biotypes [PDF]
Cholera is a severe form of watery diarrhea caused by Vibrio cholerae toxigenic strains. Typically, the toxigenic variants of V. cholerae harbor a bacteriophage, cholera toxin phage, integrated in their genome.

Vibrio Pathogenicity Island-1: The Master Determinant of Cholera Pathogenesis
Cholera is an acute secretory diarrhoeal disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The key determinants of cholera pathogenicity, cholera toxin (CT), and toxin co-regulated pilus (TCP) are part of the genome of two horizontally acquired Mobile ...

The mucosal adjuvant cholera toxin B instructs non-mucosal dendritic cells to promote IgA production via retinoic acid and TGF-β [PDF]
It is currently unknown how mucosal adjuvants cause induction of secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA), and how T cell-dependent (TD) or -independent (TI) pathways might be involved.
