Viscotoxins are small cationic proteins found in European mistletoe Viscum album. They are
highly toxic towards phytopathogenic fungi and cancer cells. Heterologous expression of …

Viscotoxins (Vts) are basic peptides expressed in mistletoe leaves, seeds and stems which
have been shown to be cytotoxic to mammalian cells. The aim of this study was to analyse …

Viscotoxins A2 (VA2) and B (VB) are, together with viscotoxin A3 (VA3), among the most
abundant viscotoxin isoforms that occur in mistletoe-derived medicines used in anti-cancer …

Viscotoxins are cationic proteins, isolated from different mistletoe species, that belong to the
group of thionins, a group of basic cysteine‐rich peptides of≈ 5 kDa. They have been …

Viscotoxins have been isolated from leaf homogenates of European mistletoe (Viscum
album L.) and purified to apparent homogeneity. Antisera raised against these polypeptides …

Viscotoxins are a group of toxic thionins found in several mistletoe species. The constitutive
CaMV-Ω promoter was used to drive the expression of the viscotoxin A3 cDNA from Viscum …

Verocytotoxins comprise a family of closely related subunit proteins. Two members of this
group, VT1 and the immunologically distinct VT2, have been found to share similar physical …

Viscotoxins are small proteins that are thought to interact with biomembranes, displaying
different toxic activities against a varied number of cell types, being viscotoxin A 3 (VtA 3) the …

The crystal structure of viscotoxin A3 (VT A3) extracted from European mistletoe (Viscum
album L.) has been solved using the anomalous diffraction of the native S atoms measured …

Mistletoe extracts have immunomodulatory activity. We show that nontoxic concentrations of
Viscum album extracts increase natural killer (NK) cell‐mediated killing of tumor cells but …
