Conformational Switching of the Diphtheria Toxin T-Domain [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2010
The diphtheria toxin T domain translocates the catalytic C domain across the endosomal membrane in response to acidification. To elucidate the role of histidine protonation in modulating pH-dependent membrane action of the T domain, we have used site-directed mutagenesis coupled with spectroscopic and physiological assays.

Surveillance of diphtheria in the Netherlands between 2000–2021: cutaneous diphtheria supersedes the respiratory form

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background Diphtheria is a severe respiratory or cutaneous infectious disease, caused by exotoxin producing Corynebacterium diphtheriae, C. ulcerans and C. pseudotuberculosis. Diphtheria is once again prevalent due to breakdown of immunisation programmes,

Clec9a-mediated ablation of conventional dendritic cells suggests a lymphoid path to generating dendritic cells In Vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are versatile activators of immune responses that develop as part of the myeloid lineage downstream of hematopoietic stem cells.

Characterization of serum anti-diphtheria antibody activity following administration of equine anti-toxin for suspected diphtheria

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017
There is a global shortage of equine-derived diphtheria anti-toxin (DAT) for diphtheria treatment. There are few existing data on serum antibody concentrations and neutralizing activity post-treatment to support development of new therapeutics.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLY(D,L-LACTIC-CO-GLYCOLIC)ACID MICROPARTICLES LOADED BY DIPHTHERIA TOXOID [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologia Acta, 2018
The aim of the study was to synthesize poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) particles — PLGA and obtain their complexes with a non-toxic diphtheria toxin recombinant fragment subunit B fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein EGFP-SubB; to characterize ...

Chimeric diphtheria toxin–CCL8 cytotoxic peptide for breast cancer management

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
DTCCL8 is a recombinant fusion toxin that targets cancer cells expressing chemokine receptors. By combining diphtheria toxin with CCL8, DTCCL8 binds to multiple receptors on tumor cells and induces selective cytotoxicity. This strategy enables receptor‐mediated targeting of cancer and may support the development of chemokine‐guided therapeutics ...
