Purification of anthrax-toxin components by high-performance anion-exchange, gel-filtration and hydrophobic-interaction chromatography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A procedure has been developed for purification of the tripartite anthrax-toxin components. This involves sequential high-performance anion-exchange, gel-filtration and hydrophobic-interaction chromatography. From an initial culture volume of 15 litres, typical yields of 8 mg of protective antigen, 13 mg of lethal factor and 7 mg of oedema factor are produced to higher degrees of purity than have previously been achieved by conventional chromatographic techniques.

Fermentation, purification, and characterization of protective antigen from a recombinant, avirulent strain of Bacillus anthracis.
Bacillus anthracis, the etiologic agent for anthrax, produces two bipartite, AB-type exotoxins, edema toxin and lethal toxin. The B subunit of both exotoxins is an M(r) 83,000 protein termed protective antigen (PA). The human anthrax vaccine currently licensed for use in the United States consists primarily of this protein adsorbed onto aluminum oxyhydroxide. This report describes the productio...

Regarding remarkable prevalence of human hydatidosis and despite introduction of novel sensitive techniques such as ELISA for immunodiagnosis of disease in the word, there has not been much progress in that field in Iran. Preparation and purification of suitable antigens is the basic and first step in serodiagnosis of this disease. The present study, thus, is designed and carried out for pr...

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 کاملPurification and characterization of two novel hypersensitive response-inducing specific elicitors produced by the cowpea rust fungus.
Two novel elicitor peptides that are produced by the race 1 of the cowpea rust fungus Uromyces vignae and that specifically induce a hypersensitive response (a putative form of programmed cell death) in a resistant cultivar of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) have been purified to homogeneity. Purification steps included gel filtration, anion-exchange chromatography, continuous elution electr...
