Evaluation of Pertussis Toxin Expression in B2 and THIJS Media [PDF]
Whole-cell pertussis vaccine (wP) has been imperative and highly effective in preventing childhood deaths due to pertussis. Pertussis toxin is one of the virulence factors of Bordetella pertussis in all available pertussis vaccines. wP production in Razi

The actions of Pasteurella multocida toxin on neuronal cells [PDF]
Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) activates the G-proteins Gα, Gα, Gα Gα and Gα by deamidation of specific glutamine residues. A number of these alpha subunits have signalling roles in neurones.

Gas phase characterization of the noncovalent quaternary structure of Cholera toxin and the Cholera toxin B subunit pentamer [PDF]
Cholera toxin (CTx) is an AB5 cytotonic protein that has medical relevance in cholera and as a novel mucosal adjuvant. Here, we report an analysis of the noncovalent homopentameric complex of CTx B chain (CTx B5) using electrospray ionization triple ...

Parenteral immunization of mice with a genetically inactivated pertussis toxin DNA vaccine induces cell-mediated immunity and protection [PDF]
The immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a DNA vaccine encoding a genetically inactivated S1 domain of pertussis toxin was evaluated using a murine respiratory challenge model of Bordetella pertussis infection.

PTX Instructs the Development of Lung-Resident Memory T Cells in Bordetella pertussis Infected Mice
Whooping cough is a severe, highly contagious disease of the human respiratory tract, caused by Bordetellapertussis. The pathogenicity requires several virulence factors, including pertussis toxin (PTX), a key component of current available vaccines ...
