Binding of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin to gangliosides
Ochanda James O.; Syuto, B; Ohishi, I; Naiki, M; Kubo, S (1986)The binding characteristics of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins of types B, C1, and F to gangliosides was studied by thin layer chromatography plate and microtiter plate methods at low (10 mM NaCl in 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer, ... -
Comparison of antigenicity of toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum type C and D strains.
Ochanda James O.; Syuto, B; Oguma, K; Iida, H; Kubo, S (1984)C1 neurotoxin of Clostridium botulinum strains C-Stockholm (C-ST), C beta-Yoichi, C-468, CD6F, and C-CB19 and type D toxin of strains D-1873 and D-CB16 were purified by gel filtration, ion exchange, and affinity chromatographies. ... -
Isolation And Properties Of 600-kda And 23-kda Haemolymph Proteins From The Tsetse Fly, Glossina Morsitans: Their Possible Role As Biological Insecticides
Ochanda James O.; Osir, E O; Nguu, E K; Olembo, N K (University of NairobiFaculty of medicine, 1992)The haemolymph of the tsetse fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans, contains a high (lipophorin) and a low molecular weight protein of high densities, 1.11 and 1.29 g/ml, respectively. The purification of the proteins was ... -
Lipophorin From The Tsetse Fly, Glossina Morsitans Morsitans
Ochanda James O.; Osir, EO; Nguu, EK; Olembo, NK (University of NairobiFaculty of medicine, 1991)Lipophorin was isolated from the haemolymph of adult tsetse fly, Glossina morsitans morsitans, by ultracentrifugation in a potassium bromide density gradient. 2. The tsetse fly lipophorin (Mr congruent to 600,000) has a ... -
Purification and characterization of neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum type C 6813
Terajima, J; Syuto, B; Ochanda James O.; Kubo, S (1985)The toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum type C 6813 (C-6813) was purified 1,009-fold from the culture supernatant in an overall yield of 30%. The specific toxicity was 1.1 X 10(7) mouse minimum lethal doses per mg of ...
