There are a variety of bacteria which employ bAREs in infection : cholera of C . botulinum; and Diphtheria toxin of Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
22.
This then causes the elongation of polypeptides to cease . ( The mechanism of the toxin is similar to that of Diphtheria toxin .)
23.
That vaccine stimulates an infant's immune system by joining a protein from another bacterium, like tetanus or diphtheria toxin, to sugars from Hib bacteria.
24.
The structures of other multimeric membrane proteins ( such as diphtheria toxin ) provide the answer to how PA manages to span the membrane.
25.
Diphtheria toxin is a single, 60kDa molecular weight protein composed of two peptide chains, fragment A and fragment B, held together by a disulfide bond.
26.
The domain is named after " Corynebacterium diphtheriae " dtxR, an iron-specific diphtheria toxin repressor, and " Bacillus subtilis " mntR, a manganese transport regulator.
27.
However, bacterial toxins, such as diphtheria toxin, which is used in denileukin diftitox, an FDA-approved treatment for leukemia and lymphoma, have proven to be more practical.
28.
In particular, he developed a method for inactivating the diphtheria toxin and the tetanus toxin using formaldehyde which, in its essentials, is still used in vaccines manufactured today.
29.
In addition to classical diphtheria, " C . ulcerans " can also cause skin infections that resemble classical cutaneous diphtheria as a result of production of the diphtheria toxin.
30.
In cases that progress beyond a throat infection, diphtheria toxin spreads through the blood and can lead to potentially life-threatening complications that affect other organs, such as the heart and kidneys.
