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

Clec9a-mediated ablation of conventional dendritic cells suggests a lymphoid path to generating dendritic cells In Vivo [PDF]
Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are versatile activators of immune responses that develop as part of the myeloid lineage downstream of hematopoietic stem cells.

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]
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
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 ...
