Improvement of Technology of Cholera Toxin B-Subunit Production
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2015 Consideration is given to implementation of state-of-the-art filtration technologies for up-scaled manufacturing of cholera toxin B-subunit, produced by recombinant Vibrio cholerae non O1 KM93 strain. Selected are micro- and ultra-filtration membranes to

Production of putative enhanced oral cholera vaccine strains that express toxin-coregulated pilus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The use of whole cell killed (WCK) oral cholera vaccines is an important strategy for cholera prevention in endemic areas. To overcome current vaccine limitations, we engineered strains of V.

Quantitative prediction of multivalent ligand–receptor binding affinities for influenza, cholera, and anthrax inhibition [PDF]
, 2018 Multivalency achieves strong, yet reversible binding by the simultaneous formation of multiple weak bonds. It is a key interaction principle in biology and promising for the synthesis of high-affinity inhibitors of pathogens. We present a molecular model

The B subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin alters the development and antigen-presenting capacity of dendritic cells [PDF]
, 2015 Escherichia coli’s heat-labile enterotoxin (Etx) and its non-toxic B subunit (EtxB) have been characterized as adjuvants capable of enhancing T cell responses to co-administered antigen.

"Alternative" endocytic mechanisms exploited by pathogens: new avenues for therapeutic delivery? [PDF]
, 2007 Some pathogens utilize unique routes to enter cells that may evade the intracellular barriers encountered by the typical clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway.

Neutralization of cholera toxin with nanoparticle decoys for treatment of cholera. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Diarrheal diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In many cases, antibiotic therapy is either ineffective or not recommended due to concerns about emergence of resistance.

Ricin trafficking in plant and mammalian cells [PDF]
, 2011 Ricin is a heterodimeric plant protein that is potently toxic to mammalian and many other eukaryotic cells. It is synthesized and stored in the endosperm cells of maturing Ricinus communis seeds (castor beans).

Bioscience Reports, 1977 Summary1. Death in several infectious diseases is caused by protein toxins secreted by invading bacteria. Cholera toxin is a simple protein secreted by Vibrio cholerae colonizing the gut; it is responsible for the massive diarrhoea that is cholera.2. The primary action of cholera toxin is an activation of adenylate cyclase, an enzyme found on the inner
