[Characteristics of the heat-stable enterotoxin of NAG vibrios].
Cell-free culture filtrate boiled for 15 minutes has been found to retain its biological activity in various experimental models used for the determination of the toxicogenicity of cholera vibrio filtrates. During gel filtration of the concentrated filrate o. NAG vibrio, strain NO. 9852, through Sephadex G-75 toxic activity could be detected in the free volume of the column, which was indicative of the fact that the molecular weight of the thermostable enterotoxin was about 70,000 daltons and greater. The methods of gel diffusion and aggregated hemagglutination have been used to show that the thermostable enterotoxin of NAG vibrio No. 9852 is immunologically unrelated to cholerogen. Some data obtained in experimental models suggest that the thermostable enterotoxin probably differs from cholera enterotoxin in the mechanism of its action.
