Abstract

A protein toxin apparently composed of one polypeptide with an estimated of 155000 was purified from sonicated cells of a type D strain of (LFB) by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and DEAE-Sephadex A50 chromatography. Its specific activity was 150-fold greater than that of the crude extract. The partially purified protein was cytotoxic for embryonic bovine lung cells, lethal for mice and caused turbinate atrophy in gnotobiotic pigs; a single intraperitoneal injection of approximately 360 ng kg caused 50% turbinate atrophy. Reversal of the two-step purification procedure using DEAE-Sephacel chromatography followed by preparative PAGE increased the yield of toxin 30-fold; the specific activity of the partially purified toxin was 1970-fold greater than that of the crude extract.
