Development and characterization of recombinant antibody Fragments that recognize and neutralize in vitro Stx2 toxin from shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli

Background: Stx toxin is a member of the AB5 family of bacterial toxins: the active A subunit has N-glycosidase activity against 28S rRNA, resulting in inhibition of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells, and the pentamer ligand B subunits (StxB) bind to globotria(tetra)osylceramide receptors (Gb3/G...
