Immunochemical and cytotoxic activities of Shigella dysenteriae 1 (shiga) and shiga-like toxins.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toxins in culture supernatants and bacterial lysates of S. dysenteriae 1 and S. flexneri were quantitated by a cytotoxicity assay and a newly developed radioimmunoassay. Cytotoxin titers paralleled toxin antigen levels. Thus, variations in cytotoxicity among shigellae probably reflect differences in toxin yield rather than specific activity (cytotoxicity per microgram of toxin antigen).

Evaluation of the role of Shiga and Shiga-like toxins in mediating direct damage to human vascular endothelial cells.
Infection with Shiga toxin- and Shiga-like toxin-producing strains of Shigella dysenteriae and Escherichia coli, respectively, can progress to the hemolytic-uremic syndrome. It has been hypothesized that circulating Shiga toxin, Shiga-like toxins, and endotoxins may contribute to the disease by directly damaging glomerular endothelial cells. The effects of these toxins on HeLa, Vero, and human ...

In the field of studies of bacterial toxicity, acute toxicity induced by bacterial agents, particularly bacteria of the genus Shigella sp. with Shigella dysenteriae at the top, has been relevant since the Shigella dysenteriae has been highly recognized for its production of one of the major virulence factors for humans such as Shiga toxin (Stxs). Shiga toxins are a family of genetically and fun...
متن کاملProduction of Shigella dysenteriae type 1-like cytotoxin by Escherichia coli.
Strains of Escherichia coli previously implicated or proven to be causes of diarrhea were examined for production of a toxin similar to that of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (Shiga). Organisms grown in an iron-depleted broth were lysed by pressure disruption followed by ultracentrifugation. Saline-dialyzed extracts were tested for cytotoxic effects on HeLa cells that were neutralizable with antis...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a Shigella dysenteriae 1-like toxin produced by Escherichia coli.
A toxin from an enteropathogenic strain of Escherichia coli (E. coli H30) was purified to apparent homogeneity from cell lysates. The steps used to isolate the E. coli H30 toxin included French pressure-cell disruption of bacteria grown in iron-depleted media. Affi-Gel Blue chromatography, chromatofocusing, and anti-Shiga toxin affinity chromatography. The mobilities of the subunits of radioiod...
متن کاملCharacterization of monoclonal antibodies against Shiga-like toxin from Escherichia coli.
Three monoclonal antibodies, designated MAb 16E6, MAb 13C4, and MAb 19G8, were produced which recognize Shiga-like toxin (SLT) from Escherichia coli. All three monoclonal antibodies neutralized the cytotoxicity of E. coli SLT and were able to immunoprecipitate intact labeled toxin with Staphylococcus aureus protein A. The three antibodies were of the G1 heavy and kappa light chain classes. MAb ...
