The effect of Staphylococcus aureus carriage in late pregnancy on antibody levels to staphylococcal toxins in cord blood and breast milk. [PDF]
, 2008 We investigated the effect of carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in the later stages of pregnancy on levels of antibody specific to the S. aureus toxins, staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), staphylococcal enterotoxin C (SEC) and toxic shock syndrome toxin-

Toxins, Targets, and Triggers: An Overview of Toxin-Antitoxin Biology [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2018 Bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules are abundant genetic elements that encode a toxin protein capable of inhibiting cell growth and an antitoxin that counteracts the toxin. The majority of toxins are enzymes that interfere with translation or DNA replication, but a wide variety of molecular activities and cellular targets have been described ...

Channel-Forming Bacterial Toxins in Biosensing and Macromolecule Delivery
Toxins, 2014 To intoxicate cells, pore-forming bacterial toxins are evolved to allow for the transmembrane traffic of different substrates, ranging from small inorganic ions to cell-specific polypeptides. Recent developments in single-channel electrical recordings,

Glycosylated Triterpenoids as Endosomal Escape Enhancers in Targeted Tumor Therapies
Biomedicines, 2017 Protein-based targeted toxins play an increasingly important role in targeted tumor therapies. In spite of their high intrinsic toxicity, their efficacy in animal models is low.

Cnidarian Toxins Acting on Voltage-Gated Ion Channels
Marine Drugs, 2006 : Voltage-gated ion channels generate electrical activity in excitable cells. As such, they are essential components of neuromuscular and neuronal systems, and are targeted by toxins from a wide variety of phyla, including the cnidarians. Here, we review

Gut-Derived Metabolites and Their Role in Immune Dysfunction in Chronic Kidney Disease
Toxins, 2020 Several of the uremic toxins, which are difficult to remove by dialysis, originate from the gut bacterial metabolism. This opens opportunities for novel targets trying to decrease circulating levels of these toxins and their pathophysiological effects ...
