Rapid Detection of Escherichia coli O157 and Shiga Toxins by Lateral Flow Immunoassays [PDF]
Toxins, 2016 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 (STEC) cause food-borne illness that may be fatal. STEC strains enumerate two types of potent Shiga toxins (Stx1 and Stx2) that are responsible for causing diseases. It is important to detect the E.

Molecular Biology of Escherichia coli Shiga Toxins’ Effects on Mammalian Cells [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Shiga toxins (Stxs), syn. Vero(cyto)toxins, are potent bacterial exotoxins and the principal virulence factor of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), a subset of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC).

A High-Throughput, Precipitating Colorimetric Sandwich ELISA Microarray for Shiga Toxins [PDF]
Toxins, 2014 Shiga toxins 1 and 2 (Stx1 and Stx2) from Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) bacteria were simultaneously detected with a newly developed, high-throughput antibody microarray platform.

P1PK blood group antigens in birds: implications for veterinary blood transfusion, human and pet health [PDF]
BMC Veterinary ResearchBackground The P1PK blood group system in humans, composed of three glycosphingolipid antigens, plays a significant role in transfusion medicine. These antigens are synthesized by the enzyme α1,4-galactosyltransferase, encoded by the A4GALT gene, and ...

Induction of apoptosis by Shiga toxins [PDF]
Future Microbiology, 2010 Shiga toxins comprise a family of structurally and functionally related protein toxins expressed by Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 and multiple serotypes of Escherichia coli. While the capacity of Shiga toxins to inhibit protein synthesis by catalytic inactivation of eukaryotic ribosomes has been well described, it is also apparent that Shiga toxins ...

Do the A Subunits Contribute to the Differences in the Toxicity of Shiga Toxin 1 and Shiga Toxin 2? [PDF]
Toxins, 2015 Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 (STEC) is one of the leading causes of food-poisoning around the world. Some STEC strains produce Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and/or Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) or variants of either toxin, which are critical for the ...

The Interactions of Human Neutrophils with Shiga Toxins and Related Plant Toxins: Danger or Safety?
Toxins, 2012 Shiga toxins and ricin are well characterized similar toxins belonging to quite different biological kingdoms. Plant and bacteria have evolved the ability to produce these powerful toxins in parallel, while humans have evolved a defense system that ...
