The mode of action of Vibrio vulnificus haemolysin (VVH) on mast cells from the peritoneal
cavity of the rat was examined. VVH induced histamine release, and damage to the mast …

Histamine has been thought to be a permeability enhancing factor in Vibrio vulnificus
infection. The injection of living bacteria or purified V vulnificus cytolysin (VVC) can cause …

A Vibrio vulnificus hemolysin (VVH) was purified by two steps of hydrophobic column
chromatography on Phenyl‐Sepharose HP. The first chromatography was carried out at pH …

Some properties of hemolysin produced by Vibrio vulnificus were investigated. The
hemolysin was heat labile, and the hemolytic activity was inhibited by adding cholesterol or …

The hemolytic activity of Vibrio vulnificus hemolysin (VVH) against erythrocytes from several
animal species (sheep, horse, cow, rabbit, chicken) was investigated. VVH was active …

Vibrio mimicus is a causative agent of human gastroenteritis. This pathogen secretes a pore-
forming toxin, V. mimicus hemolysin (VMH), which causes hemolysis by three sequential …

The peptide composition and antigenic cross-reactivity of partially purified and concentrated
haemolysins of 16 strains of Vibrio vulnificus were examined by SDS-PAGE and …

The haemolytic action of Vibrio vulnificus haemolysin (VVH) was compared to that of
streptolysin O (SLO). Both were cholesterol-binding haemolysins, but differed in the release …

Vibrio mimicus, a causative agent of gastroenteritis, has also been reported to attribute to
extraintestinal infections. Recently we have purified a metalloprotease produced by the …
