Abstract excerpt
The thermostable enterotoxin b (STb) produced by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains is responsible for diarrheal diseases mainly in weaning piglets. For now, the only available assay for biological activity of STb toxin was in the animal host (i.e. piglet) or in an animal model (i.e. rat, mouse). In this study, we developed a cellular model for the study of the biological activity of STb enterotoxin. Using...
