Highly Sensitive Suspension Immunoassay for Multiplex Detection, Differentiation, and Quantification of Eight Staphylococcus aureus Enterotoxins (SEA to SEI)

Toxins
Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are major contributors to foodborne intoxications. Reliable detection methods for SEs are essential to maintain food safety and protect public health.

Proteomic Methods of Detection and Quantification of Protein Toxins

Toxins, 2018
Biological toxins are a heterogeneous group of compounds that share commonalities with biological and chemical agents. Among them, protein toxins represent a considerable, diverse set.

Biological Functions of Type II Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Bacteria

Microorganisms, 2021
After the first discovery in the 1980s in F-plasmids as a plasmid maintenance system, a myriad of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems has been identified in bacterial chromosomes and mobile genetic elements (MGEs), including plasmids and bacteriophages.

Conflicting Clinical Presentation of Infection with Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens in a 5-Month-Old Infant

Journal of Pediatrics: Clinical Practice
We present a 5-month-old infant with a 1-day history of poor feeding and sudden progression into generalized weakness including septic shock syndrome after consumption of homemade food. Botulism and sepsis symptoms could be explained by the presence of a

Recommended Immunological Strategies to Screen for Botulinum Neurotoxin-Containing Samples

Toxins, 2015
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) cause the life-threatening neurological illness botulism in humans and animals and are divided into seven serotypes (BoNT/A–G), of which serotypes A, B, E, and F cause the disease in humans. BoNTs are classified as “category

Harnessing the Power of Venomous Animal-Derived Toxins against COVID-19

Toxins, 2023
Animal-derived venoms are complex mixtures of toxins triggering important biological effects during envenomings. Although venom-derived toxins are known for their potential of causing harm to victims, toxins can also act as pharmacological agents. During

Toxins, Targets, and Triggers: An Overview of Toxin-Antitoxin Biology.

Molecules and Cells, 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.

Glycan Profile and Sequence Variants of Certified Ricin Reference Material and Other Ricin Samples Yield Unique Molecular Signature Features

Toxins
A certified reference material of ricin (CRM-LS-1) was produced by the EuroBioTox consortium to standardise the analysis of this biotoxin. This study established the N-glycan structures and proportions including their loci and occupancy of ricin CRM-LS-1.

Generation and Characterization of Six Recombinant Botulinum Neurotoxins as Reference Material to Serve in an International Proficiency Test

Toxins, 2015
The detection and identification of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) is complex due to the existence of seven serotypes, derived mosaic toxins and more than 40 subtypes. Expert laboratories currently use different technical approaches to detect, identify and

Clinical and Biological Features of Response in Resistant Neuroblastoma to 131I‐Metaiodobenzylguanidine Radiotherapy in the Anti‐GD2 Immunotherapy Era

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background 131I‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I‐MIBG) radiotherapy is a key treatment for relapsed and refractory (R/R) neuroblastoma (NB). Patients with R/R disease treated in the modern era are increasingly exposed to anti‐GD2 immunotherapy, which exerts selective pressure and may modify both tumor cell state and microenvironment.
