A nonspecific binding of antibodies to diphtheria toxin, especially in adult serum samples, was observed in our diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis multiplex immunoassay (DTaP4 MIA). This can be significantly reduced by the use of diphtheria toxoid, achieving a good correlation with the Vero cell neutralization test and the toxin binding inhibition assay.
Tetanus toxin produces spastic paralysis in situ by blocking inhibitory neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord. Although di- and trisialogangliosides bind tetanus toxin, their role as productive toxin receptors remains unclear. We examined toxin binding and action in spinal cord cell cultures grown in the presence of fumonisin B(1), an inhibitor of ganglioside synthesis. Mouse spinal cord ...
We have examined the effect of a serum from a patient with myasthenia gravis on the binding of alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BuTx) to the acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) of a mouse muscle cell line, C2. After a 2-hr incubation, antibodies in the serum reduced toxin binding to C2 myotubes to a maximal extent of approximately 50%. The degradation of surface AChRs could account for the loss of only 5%...
Binding of alpha-bungarotoxin, labeled with 125I, has been studied in detergent extracts and affinity purified acetylcholine receptor from rat cerebral cortex. Binding to detergent extracts is saturable and appears to be due to one class of binding sites present at a level of 0.27 pmol/mg of protein. The association constant is 2 X 10(7) liters mol-1 . Competition with cholinergic ligands indic...
Helminthosporoside is the host-specific toxin produced by Helminthosporium sacchari, the organism causing eyespot disease on sugarcane. Clones of sugarcane susceptible to the toxin posses a membrane protein that binds the toxin. Membranes of resistant clones do not bind the toxin. In this study, a binding protein from a susceptible clone was compared with its counterpart from a resistant clone....
Balb/c 3T3 cells contain a large number [(0.8-1.6) x 1061 of high-affinity (half-maximal binding at 0.2 nM) binding sites for cholera toxin that are resistant to proteolysis, but are quantitatively extracted with chloroform/methanol. The following evidence rigorously establishes that the receptor is a ganglioside similar to, or identical with, ganglioside GM1. (1) Labelling of ganglioside GM1 b...
Pseudomonas exotoxin A enters mouse LM fibroblasts by receptor-mediated endocytosis and ultimately causes cell death. Here we present evidence for the existence of a specific receptor for the toxin. Toxin association with LM cells at 18 and 37 degrees C, but not at 4 degrees C, was highly specific. At 37 degrees C, the association increased with time, reaching a steady state by 5 h. Binding to ...
How the plasma membrane is bent to accommodate clathrin-independent endocytosis remains uncertain. Recent studies suggest Shiga and cholera toxin induce membrane curvature required for their uptake into clathrin-independent carriers by binding and cross-linking multiple copies of their glycosphingolipid receptors on the plasma membrane. But it remains unclear if toxin-induced sphingolipid cross...
