A simple electroelution method for rapid protein purification: isolation and antibody production of alpha toxin from Clostridium septicum
Clostridium septicum produces a number of diseases in human and farm animals which, in most of the cases, are fatal without clinical intervention. Alpha toxin is an important agent and the unique lethal virulent factor produced by Clostridium septicum. This toxin is haemolytic, highly lethal and necrotizing activities but is being used as an antigen to develop animal vaccines. The aim of this s...
متن کاملAlpha Toxin Purification and Antibody Production Against Local Strain of Clostridium septicum NH2
BACKGROUND: Clostridium septicum has played a significant role as a causative agent of many acute fetal diseases in man and animals. Alpha- toxin is the main factor in the pathogenesis of C. septicum with hemolytic, necrotic and lethal activities. OBJECTIVES: The study was designed to evaluate alpha-toxin purification and antibody production rate against a local strain of C. septicum NH2 which ...
متن کاملRapid, simplified method for production and purification of tetanus toxin.
A rapid, simplified method for production and purification of tetanus toxin from bacterial extracts was described. The extracts were prepared by stirring young cells (ca. 45-h culture) of Clostridium tetani in 1 M NaCl-0.1 M sodium citrate, pH 7.5, overnight at 0 to 4 degrees C. The toxin was purified by a combination of (i) ammonium sulfate fractionation (0 to 40% saturation), (ii) ultracentri...
متن کاملProkaryotic Expression, Purification, and Polyclonal Antibody Production of a Truncated Recombinant Rabies Virus L Protein
Background: Rabies virus (RABV) is a deadly neurotropic virus that causes the disease of rabies in humans and animals. L protein is one of the large structural protein of rabies virus, which displays multiple enzymatic activities, and is required for viral transcription and replication. Objectives: A truncated L protein of Rabies virus is being cloned, expressed and purified to produce relevant...
متن کاملClostridium septicum alpha toxin uses glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein receptors.
The alpha toxin produced by Clostridium septicum is a channel-forming protein that is an important contributor to the virulence of the organism. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are sensitive to low concentrations of the toxin, indicating that they contain toxin receptors. Using retroviral mutagenesis, a mutant CHO line (BAG15) was generated that is resistant to alpha toxin. FACS analysis show...
