Abstract excerpt
A detailed proteolysis study of internalized diphtheria toxin (DT) within rat liver endosomes was undertaken to determine whether DT-resistant species exhibit defects in toxin endocytosis, toxin activation by cellular enzymes or toxin translocation to its cytosolic target. Following administration of a saturating dose of wild-type DT or nontoxic mutant DT (mDT) to rats, rapid endocytosis of the intact 62-kDa...
