Abstract excerpt
Cross-reacting-material 197 (CRM197) is a naturally occurring non-toxic mutant of diphtheria toxin (DT) that is one of the few carrier protein used in the manufacture of polysaccharide vaccines targeting bacterial pathogens such as Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumaniae and Haemophilus influenzae. A detailed explanation in structural terms for the lack of toxicity has started to emerge with the report...
