Abstract excerpt
The homopentameric B-subunit of Shiga toxin (STxB) is used as a tool to deliver antigenic peptides and proteins to the cytosolic compartment of dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, a series of interface mutants of STxB has been constructed. All mutants retained their overall conformation, while a loss in thermal stability was observed. This effect was even more pronounced in trifluoroethanol solutions that mimic...
