Abstract excerpt
Recombinant mutant holotoxin BoNTs (rBoNTs) are being evaluated as possible vaccines against botulism. Previously, several rBoNTs containing 2-3 amino acid mutations in the light chain (LC) showed significant decreases in toxicity (2.5-million-fold-12.5-million-fold) versus wild-type BoNT/A1, leading to their current exclusion from the Federal Select Agent list. In this study, we added four additional mutations...
