Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The complex and expensive processes involved in the production of current clostridial toxoid vaccines require the design of new methods. The aim of this study was to introduce single and combined nontoxic mutants of Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin (ETX) into the vaccine production. METHODS: Antigenic properties, amino acid sequence, physicochemical characteristics, stability, and protein...
