The gene for pneumolysin, the thiol-activated toxin from Streptococcus pneumoniae, has been expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein has been purified using a rapid, high yield, purification procedure and has been shown to be identical with respect to N-terminal amino-acid sequence, specific activity, effect on human polymorphonuclear phagocytes and effect on human complement to the native toxin purified from the pneumococcus. This provides a large enough source of material to begin investigation of pneumolysin as a candidate for inclusion in a pneumococcal vaccine.
