As cholera toxin (CT) is responsible for most of the symptoms induced by Vibrio cholerae O1 or O139 infection, detection of CT is an important biomarker for diagnosis of the disease. The procedure for pathogenicity analysis of V. cholerae isolates must be carefully developed for the reason that the amount of CT produced by V. cholerae varies according to the medium used and culture conditions (i.e. temperature and aeration status) applied. Here we describe a reproducible rapid method for analysis of CT production by toxigenic V. cholerae with an immunochromatographic test strip that can detect as low as 10 ng/mL of purified recombinant CT.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002772 Cholera Toxin An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
