چکیده

A form of systemic tetanus with atypical symptoms was observed in mice injected in the left thigh with a mixture of tetanus toxin and antibody produced in guinea pigs against a fragment of toxin obtained from a subtilisin digest of the crystallized toxin. The mice did not show typical symptoms of the local tetanus such as convulsions or spastic paralysis of the injected limb.

Induction of neutralizing antibodies against diphtheria toxin by priming with recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG expressing CRM(197), a mutant diphtheria toxin.

BCG, the attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis, has been widely used as a vaccine against tuberculosis and is thus an important candidate as a live carrier for multiple antigens. With the aim of developing a recombinant BCG (rBCG) vaccine against diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus (DPT), we analyzed the potential of CRM(197), a mutated nontoxic derivative of diphtheria toxin, as the recombin...

Toxicity of Papain-digested Tetanus Toxin

Fragment B of tetanus toxin (Helting, T. B., and Zwisler, 0. (197’7) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 187-193), obtained after digestion with papain, gel chromatography, immunoabsorption, and repeated gel chromatography, was atoxic in experimenta’l animals at concentration levels sufficient to induce protective antibody synthesis. However, mice injected with 200 pg of highly purified Fragment B appear norma...

Immunogenicity of a Salmonella typhimurium aroA aroD vaccine expressing a nontoxic domain of Clostridium difficile toxin A.

The C-terminal repeat domain of Clostridium difficile toxin A harbors toxin-neutralizing epitopes and is considered to be a candidate component of a vaccine against C. difficile-associated disease (CDAD). Fourteen of the 38 C-terminal toxin A repeats (14CDTA) were cloned into pTECH-1 in frame with the immunogenic fragment C of tetanus toxin (TETC) to generate plasmid p56TETC. Expression of the ...

Tetanus Neurotoxin Neutralizing Antibodies Screened from a Human Immune scFv Antibody Phage Display Library

Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) produced by Clostridium tetani is one of the most poisonous protein substances. Neutralizing antibodies against TeNT can effectively prevent and cure toxicosis. Using purified Hc fragments of TeNT (TeNT-Hc) as an antigen, three specific neutralizing antibody clones recognizing different epitopes were selected from a human immune scFv antibody phage display library. The...

Validation of the combined toxin-binding inhibition test for determination of neutralizing antibodies against tetanus and diphtheria toxins in a vaccine field study in Viet Nam.

Determination of seroconversion and measurement of protective antibody levels in children against vaccine components are essential for gauging and monitoring the efficacy of paediatric vaccination programmes. For this purpose, we assessed the combined toxin-binding inhibition (ToBI) test for determining neutralizing antibodies to tetanus and diphtheria in a diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT) va...
