Use of a Vero Cell-Based Fluorescent Assay to Assess Relative Toxicities of Shiga Toxin 2 Subtypes from Escherichia coli

关键词: vero cell-based fluorescent assay来源: 互联网

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli is a leading cause of human gastroenteritis from food and waterborne sources worldwide. Shiga toxins 1 and 2 are important virulence factors linked to severe human illness. In particular, Shiga toxin 2 is composed of a diverse and heterogeneous group of subtypes with differential cytotoxicities in mammalian cells. In this chapter, we describe the use of the Vero-d2EGFP fluorescent assay to examine the relative toxicities of Stx2 and Stx2 subtypes expressed by strains of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.
