Chemical and Engineering News Release. Fighting Food-borne Illness: Glycoconjugates that differentiate disease-causing toxins could be basis of simple assay. E. coli O157:H7 is a leading cause of food borne illness. This bacterium releases two major toxins, Shiga toxins 1 and 2. However, Shiga 2 is more potent than Shiga 1 and causes kidney failure in certain patients. There is a great need to develop synthetic molecules that exhibit antibody-like selectivity and sensitivity and are robust, inexpensive, amenable to scale up and require no refrigeration. Students in Dr. Iyer (Department of Chemistry) and Dr. Weiss laboratories (Department of Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Biochemistry) have developed synthetic materials that have that differentiate between Shiga 1 and Shiga 2. These synthetic materials efficiently capture toxins without interference from the stool samples. (read more...) |
