Subacute Effects of Maize-Expressed Vaccine Protein, Escherichia coli Heat-Labile Enterotoxin Subunit B (LTB), on the Springtail, Folsomia candida, and the Earthworm, Eisenia fetida
In this study, we determined the amino-terminal coding sequence, covering the signal peptide and the amino-terminus of the mature peptide, of the heat-labile enterotoxin subunit B (LT-B) gene originating in human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. Neither the signal sequence nor the amino-terminal sequence of the mature LT-B was identical to those sequences from porcine enterotoxigenic E. coli, but there was an extensive homology.
