Nontoxic, multi-domain botulinum neurotoxin-LCHC as vaccines against botulism.
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), the causative agents of botulism, are proteins consisting of an N-terminal catalytic Light Chain (LC) and a C-terminal Heavy Chain (HC), which comprises a LC-translocation domain (HC) and a receptor binding do…

A Novel Botulinum Neurotoxin, Previously Reported as Serotype H, Has a Hybrid-Like Structure With Regions of Similarity to the Structures of Serotypes A and F and Is Neutralized With Serotype A Antitoxin.
Botulism is a potentially fatal paralytic disease caused by the action of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) on nerve cells. There are 7 known serotypes (A-G) of BoNT and up to 40 genetic variants. Clostridium botulinum strain IBCA10-7060 was rece…
