Strategies for the induction of mucosal immunity against hepatitis B virus.
… with cholera toxin (CT), Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT), the B subunit of CT (CTB) and a non-toxic derivative of LT (LTK63) was evaluated with intranasal delivery. We also evaluate the potential of administering immunostimulatory complexes (comprised of HBsAg complexed with …

Studies of Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
… epithelium may thus contribute to virulence. The heat-labile enterotoxin of ETEC is an AB5 toxin, with a pentamer of receptor-binding B-subunits. B-subunits from porcine and human isolates of ETEC (pLTB and hLTB, respectively) and the B-subunit of cholera toxin (CTB) are highly similar, and all of …

Studies on the Expression and Regulation of Enterotoxins and Colonization Factors in Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC)
… and diarrhoea is manifested by the actions of a heat-stable (ST) and / or a heat-labile (LT) enterotoxin. Two of the most common CFs in strains isolated world-wide are coli surface antigens 5 (CS5) and 6 (CS6). In this thesis the expression and regulation of these important virulence factors as …
