Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2019 Diphtheria is a potentially fatal infection mostly caused by toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae strains and occasionally by toxigenic C. ulcerans and C. pseudotuberculosis strains. Diphtheria is generally an acute respiratory infection, characterized by the formation of a pseudomembrane in the throat, but cutaneous infections are possible.

Humoral Immunity to Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis After Cancer Treatment in Children [PDF]
Cancer Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Background Treatment for pediatric malignancies has distinct effects on the immune system. Aims Our aim was to measure humoral immunity to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), and diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccines after pediatric cancer treatment.

Treg Control of CD80/CD86 Expression Mediates Immune System Homeostasis [PDF]
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 5, May 2025.The acute depletion of Tregs induces activation of APCs and Tconvs, eventually leading to autoimmune disease. This activation could only be prevented by the blockade of CD80/CD86, so CD80/CD86‐CTLA‐4 interactions appear to be the most important Treg suppressor mechanism in the maintenance of immune homeostasis in the steady state.

Determination of Diphtheria Toxin in Bacterial Cultures by Enzyme Immunoassay
Diagnostics, 2022 Since diphtheria toxin (DT) is the main virulence factor of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and C. ulcerans, the detection of DT in corynebacterial cultures is of utmost importance in the laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria.
