Functional characterisation of tetanus and botulinum neurotoxins binding domains
15 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
Tetanus and botulinum neurotoxins constitute a family of bacterial protein toxins responsible for two deadly syndromes in humans (tetanus and botulism, respectively). They bind with high affinity to neurons wherein they cause a complete inhibition of evoked neurotransmitter release. Here we report on the cloning, expression and use of the recombinant fragments of the heavy chains of tetanus neurotoxin and...
