Toxin bioportides: exploring toxin biological activity and multifunctionality

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2016
Toxins have been shown to have many biological functions and to constitute a rich source of drugs and biotechnological tools. We focus on toxins that not only have a specific activity, but also contain residues responsible for transmembrane penetration, which can be considered bioportides-a class of cell-penetrating peptides that are also intrinsically

Photorhabdus toxins: novel biological insecticides

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 1999
Following concerns over the potential for insect resistance to insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis toxins expressed in transgenic plants, there has been recent interest in novel biological insecticides. Over the past year there has been considerable progress in the cloning of several alternative toxin genes from the bacteria Photorhabdus luminescens ...

Biological methods for marine toxin detection

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2010
The presence of marine toxins in seafood poses a health risk to human consumers which has prompted the regulation of the maximum content of marine toxins in seafood in the legislations of many countries. Most marine toxin groups are detected by animal bioassays worldwide.

Medical aspects of biologic toxins

Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 2004
Biologic toxins are molecules produced by living organisms that are poisonous to other species, such as humans. Some biologic toxins are so potent and relatively easy to produce that they have been classified as biothreat agents. These include the botulinum neurotoxins, ricin, staphylococcal enterotoxin B, and Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin ...

Biologic response to environmental toxins

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1983
Biological response to environmental toxins results from the sum of natural, environmental, avocational, inapparent, and occupational exposures. These external exposures result in acceptable or unacceptable levels of absorption or internal exposure based on anticipated biological effects.

Anti-idiotype-based vaccines against biological toxins

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 1991
Biological toxins produced by living organisms represent one of the major sources of contamination of stored grain and agricultural products, and other food sources. The majority of these biological toxins are highly lethal, nonproteinaceous low-molecular-weight chemical compounds which exert their potent toxicity through a variety of mechanisms ...
