Abstract
- The enterotoxic action of neurotoxin from Sonne dysentery microbes (obtained by the method of Mesrobeanu et al.), and also of the culture autolysates and homologous Boiven's endotoxin was studied on a model of the isolated loop of the rabbit small intestine. Neurotoxin preparations obtained from virulent strains as well as autolysates of these cultures possessed enterotoxic activity, whereas purifed endotoxin preparations in doses of 1--10 mg failed to cause any dilatation of the isolated intestinal segment. A significant individual rabbit sensitivity to the enterotoxic action of the neurotoxin preparation was revealed. Lyophilization of neurotoxin preparation did not influence its enterotoxicity. However dialysis against distilled water and boiling of the neurotoxin preparations led to the loss of enterotoxic activity.
