Diphtheria, the public health response and the origins of the childhood immunisation programme in Ireland
… on a successful public health response to diphtheria. The success of the antidiphtheria public health intervention in Ireland has meant that no case of the disease has been recorded in the state for almost fifty years. This is a significant achievement considering that diphtheria continues …

Public health in Cape Town 1923-1944: diphtheria, dairies and the discovery of the child
The idea of modernity, I suggest, was one of the chief tropes through which Europe constructed itself as a centre, as the centre, and the rest of the planet as a – its – periphery ...

Molecular Epidemiology and Evolution of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Vibrio cholerae
… Epidemiology and Evolution of Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Vibrio cholerae Robert C. Will The infectious diseases diphtheria and cholera affect thousands of people around the world every year, and are caused by the bacterial species Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Vibrio cholerae …

Molecular Basis of Corynebacterium Diphtheriae Virulence and Infection In The Caenorhabditis Elegans Model Host
Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the causative agent of cutaneous and pharyngeal diphtheria in humans. While lethality is certainly caused by diphtheria toxin, corynebacterial colonization may primarily require proteinaceous fibers called pili, which mediate adherence to specific tissues. The type …

Factors affecting the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of routine childhood immunisations / Christina Ann Boros.
… storage on the immunogenicity of pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus vaccines, the protective efficacy of pertussis vaccines and the effect of premature birth on antibody response to routine childhood immunisations.

Analysis of Circadian Rhythm Using a Novel SCN-Specific Cre Transgenic Mouse Line
… gene. By crossing NMS-Cre line to a lox-STOP-lox diphtheria toxin receptor line, behavioral circadian rhythm was disrupted upon intraperitoneal injection of diphtheria toxin. A histological examination showed that diphtheria toxin injection eliminated ~85% of NMS-Cre containing neurons at the SCN. …

Calling the shots on vaccination: when is the state justified in overturning a refusal to vaccinate?
… by poliomyelitis, rubella, measles, tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough, amongst others. By one estimation, paediatric immunization worldwide prevents approximately 3 million child deaths each year, and saves 750 000 more from disability.

Bioconjugate Strategies for Antisense Therapeutic Delivery to Glioblastoma Stem Cells
… For the second strategy, I conjugated attenuated diphtheria toxin (aDT), a protein which escapes the endolysosomal pathway, to siRNAs against relevant gene targets involved in GSC proliferation and invasion. Using this aDT-siRNA conjugate, we could downregulate genes of interest in the …

Ghrelin: The Hunger Hormone that Isn't
… We generated a mouse line expressing the simian diphtheria toxin receptor on ghrelin cells. With these mice we are able to rapidly ablate ghrelin cells in adulthood with the injection of diphtheria toxin. Despite an 80-95% loss of circulating ghrelin, our mice show no decrease in appetite or body …

Comparison of current evidence from randomized clinical trials and observational studies for immunogenicity in variable meningococcal C vaccine schedules in children, adolescents, and adults
… vaccines were more immunogenic than their diphtheria toxin mutant 197 (CRM or CRM197) protein carrier equivalents. This was less pronounced with 3 doses in infancy, and by 12 months of age antibody titers waned similarly regardless of the vaccine used. Single or booster doses given at 1-10 …
