| 11. | Elek's test for toxogenicity is used to determine whether the organism is able to produce the diphtheria toxin.
|
| 12. | An example of a neutralizing antibody is diphtheria antitoxin, which can neutralize the biological effects of diphtheria toxin.
|
| 13. | Pancreatic ribonucleases that are not inhibited by RI are approximately as toxic as alpha-sarcin, diphtheria toxin, or ricin.
|
| 14. | Certain toxins, such as alcohols, carbon tetrachloride, aspirin, and diphtheria toxin, interfere with cellular machinery involved in lipid metabolism.
|
| 15. | In the late 19th century, Emil von Behring isolated the diphtheria toxin and demonstrated its effects in guinea pigs.
|
| 16. | The transmembrane form of HB-EGF is the unique receptor for diphtheria toxin and functions in juxtacrine signaling in cells.
|
| 17. | Corynebacterium diphtheriae produces the diphtheria toxin that alters protein function in the host by inactivating elongation factor ( EF-2 ).
|
| 18. | It is the target of diphtheria toxin ( from Corynebacterium diphtheriae ), and exotoxin A ( from Pseudomonas aeruginosa ).
|
| 19. | It uses diphtheria toxin ( truncated by the cell binding domain ) coupled to an antibody to CD3? ( UCHT1 ).
|
| 20. | Rather than fixing part of the gene, however, the PTM sneaks in the recipe for making diphtheria toxin, killing the cell.
